Why the study?
Does better glycemic control, along with reductions in blood pressure and heart rate, attenuate the progression of aortic stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes?
Does better glycemic control, along with reductions in blood pressure and heart rate, attenuate the progression of aortic stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes?
Glycemic control, along with blood pressure and heart rate reduction, is associated with attenuated progression of aortic stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Supports integrated glycemic, BP, and HR control in T2D; hypothesis-generating and leaves open need for RCTs.
Better glycemic control, together with reductions in blood pressure and heart rate, was the most important correlate to attenuate/prevent progression of aortic stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes.
