Hypertension is associated with higher microvascular resistance in type 2 diabetes; hypothesis-generating for impaired hyperemia and needs prospective validation.
Does hypertension alter microvascular blood flow and resistance in patients with Type 2 diabetes?
Hypertension in Type 2 diabetes is associated with an additional rise in pre-capillary vascular resistance, which may diminish protective hyperaemic responses.
