Research described in this thesis is based on clinical data obtained through diabetes
cardiovascular risk management (DIACARM) project. A clinical protocol founded on
the fruitful co-operation of the departments of endocrinology, cardiology, nephrology,
radiology and nuclear medicine at the Leiden University Medical Center. I express
my gratitude to all supervisors, personnel and colleagues for their guidance and
contribution.
My gratitude goes to all patients. Working to optimise medical care together with you
and for you has been a fulfilling experience.
My special thanks goes to the medical staff at the endocrinology department for referring
patients. Special thanks to Eveline de Lange for her dedicated coordination herein.
I would like to thank the secretaries at the cardiology department for arranging all
appointments. The echocardiography technicians for planning and performing the
cardiac ultrasounds.
My gratitude goes to the CT technicians at the department of radiology for sharing their
knowledge while performing the CT scans. The CT group for the friendly teamwork.
I would like to thank the secretaries at the department of nuclear medicine for the
planning of diagnostic tests. The nuclear medicine doctors and technicians for their
friendly cooperation.
I express my gratitude to Jos op ’t Roodt and Martin Spaans for their devoted cooperation
in obtaining the vascular measurements. Dear Champa, working to validate the SDF
imaging was an intensive task made enjoyable by working together, thank you.
I would like to thank the staff at the cardiology laboratory engaged in the analysis and
evaluation of the biomarkers. My thanks to Margreet, Minka and prof. van der Laarse.
I would like to thank all fellow researchers at the cardiology department for their
friendship, good humour and on hand advice.

Curriculum Vitae
The author of this thesis was born on June 14, 1979 in Tehran, Iran. After graduating
from the International School of The Hague in 1997, she studied Medicine at Leiden
University. During her study she was involved in a research project investigating the
aortic root dilatation in children who had undergone a Ross procedure at the Center
for Congenital Heart Abnormalities Amsterdam-Leiden (CAHAL) (supervisor: prof. dr.
J. Ottenkamp).
After receiving her medical degree in 2004, she worked at the Department of Cardiology
in the HAGA ziekenhuis, The Hague, for 12 months (educational heads: dr. G.A. van der
Kley and dr. B.J.M. Delemarre). In 2006 she started a research fellowship on cardiovascular
disease in diabetes at the Department of Cardiology of the Leiden University Medical
Center (supervisors: prof. dr. J.W. Jukema and prof. dr. J.J. Bax). The results of studies
performed during this research period are described in the present thesis.
In July 2009, she started her training in Internal Medicine at the HAGA ziekenhuis,
The Hague (educational head: dr. M.O. van Aken). Her traineeship was continued at
the Department of Cardiology at Groene Hart ziekenhuis, Gouda (educational head:
dr. M.W.J. van Hessen) and the Department of Cardiology at Leiden University Medical
Center (educational head: prof. M.J. Schalij).
