Why the study?
Do measures of effort-related cardiac autonomic dysfunction and resting tachycardia predict cardiovascular events in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes?
Population
594 patients with type 2 diabetes without known coronary heart disease
Comparison

Design
Cohort
Follow-up
79 ± 16 months

Stress test autonomic parameters may refine risk stratification in asymptomatic T2D; leaves open whether they guide therapy or improve outcomes.
Do measures of effort-related cardiac autonomic dysfunction and resting tachycardia predict cardiovascular events in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes?
Measures of cardiac autonomic dysfunction during exercise testing independently predict long-term mortality, myocardial infarction, or stroke in asymptomatic type 2 diabetes patients.
