Why the study?
The study aimed to determine the relationship between the autonomic nervous system and reactive hyperemia in type 2 diabetes patients with and without cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy.

RH differences may aid CAN screening in T2DM; confirms autonomic-vascular link and extends evidence to neuropathy subgroups.
Is reactive hyperemia altered in type 2 diabetes patients with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy compared to those without?
In patients with type 2 diabetes, reactive hyperemia measured by peripheral arterial tonometry is more sensitive than flow-mediated dilation for detecting microvascular alterations associated with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy.
