Beat-to-beat BP monitoring may detect early sympathetic dysfunction in asymptomatic IDDM; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
Does continuous beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring reveal signs of sympathetic dysfunction in asymptomatic IDDM patients compared to healthy controls?
Continuous beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring can detect subtle signs of sympathetic dysfunction in young, asymptomatic diabetic patients.
Goldstein et al. (1988) studied this question.
