Why the study?
T2D and hypertension commonly coexist and cause subclinical myocardial changes, but the association of blood pressure with LV remodeling, cardiac function, and coronary microvascular function in asymptomatic T2D was unclear.
Is 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure associated with cardiac remodeling and coronary microvascular dysfunction in asymptomatic individuals with type 2 diabetes?
Is 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure associated with cardiac remodeling and coronary microvascular dysfunction in asymptomatic individuals with type 2 diabetes?
24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure, but not office blood pressure, independently predicts subclinical cardiac remodeling and microvascular dysfunction in asymptomatic individuals with type 2 diabetes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
24-h ambulatory BP monitoring may detect subclinical cardiac changes in asymptomatic T2D; leaves open whether targeting it improves outcomes.
