Key result
Patients with overlapping diabetes and hypertension had significantly higher systolic peripheral and central arterial pressures compared to those with either condition alone (p<0.05).
Population
110 subjects with diabetes and/or hypertension, mean age 61.3 years, mean BMI 29.3 kg/m2.

Cross-sectional

May indicate additive vascular risk in diabetes-hypertension overlap; leaves open need for prospective outcome trials.
Cross-Sectional (n=110)
p-value: p=<0.05
Patients with overlapping diabetes and hypertension exhibit greater arterial stiffness and higher central and peripheral arterial pressures than those with either condition alone.
Correia et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Diabetes and/or Hypertension (n=110). Overlapping diabetes and hypertension vs. Isolated diabetes or isolated hypertension was evaluated on Pulse wave analysis parameters (pulse wave velocity, peripheral and central arterial pressure) (p=<0.05). Patients with overlapping diabetes and hypertension had significantly higher systolic peripheral and central arterial pressures compared to those with either condition alone (p<0.05).
