Answer:
The false statement regarding macrovascular disease in diabetes mellitus is:
a) Macrovasculature disease complications affect small blood vessels.
The correct statement should be:
a) Macrovasculature disease complications affect large blood vessels.
Macrovascular disease in diabetes mellitus primarily affects large blood vessels, such as the coronary arteries supplying the heart, the carotid arteries supplying the brain, and the peripheral arteries supplying the limbs. It develops secondary to atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of plaque within the arterial walls. This condition increases the risk of heart attack and stroke due to reduced blood flow to vital organs.
It is microvascular disease that affects the small blood vessels in diabetes mellitus, leading to complications such as diabetic retinopathy (affecting the eyes), diabetic nephropathy (affecting the kidneys), and diabetic neuropathy (affecting the nerves), among others.
