Why the study?
Blood pressure and glycemic targets are only reached in 40% and 50% of patients, respectively, prompting an evaluation of BP control with antihypertensive therapy in clinical practice.
Does routine antihypertensive therapy achieve adequate blood pressure control and impact readmissions and mortality in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension?
Does routine antihypertensive therapy achieve adequate blood pressure control and impact readmissions and mortality in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension?
More than 40% of hospitalized patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes have uncontrolled long-term blood pressure, which is associated with frequent re-hospitalizations and increased mortality, highlighting the need for optimized therapy such as fixed-dose combinations.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Suboptimal BP control persists in T2DM-hypertension despite therapy; leaves open whether optimized regimens reduce readmissions or mortality.
