Observational findings indicate blood pressure extremes raise Sudden Cardiac Arrest risk in diabetic patients, suggesting hypertension management is vital.
Although the risk of SCA was highest in people with both hypertension and DM, the degree of association between blood pressure and SCA was more pronounced in non-diabetic people. In patients with diabetes, both high and low systolic blood pressure are associated with an elevated risk of SCA. While controlling hypertension is crucial for all individuals, avoiding hypotension may be another important strategy for preventing SCA in diabetic population.
