Key result
Hand grip test and QTc interval measurement showed significant changes in newly detected type 2 diabetic patients with a CAN score > 0 compared to controls.
Why the study?
Cardiac autonomic neuropathy is a common and potentially fatal complication in diabetic patients, necessitating evaluation of diagnostic tools.
Do standard cardiovascular reflex tests, heart rate variability, and QTc interval identify cardiac autonomic neuropathy in newly detected type 2 diabetic patients compared to normal controls?
Cross-Sectional (n=150)
Do standard cardiovascular reflex tests, heart rate variability, and QTc interval identify cardiac autonomic neuropathy in newly detected type 2 diabetic patients compared to normal controls?
Blood pressure response to hand grip test and QTc interval measurement show promise as useful screening tests for cardiac autonomic neuropathy in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients.

Shariff et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=150). Type 2 diabetes vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Cardiovascular autonomic function (HRV, QTc interval, hand grip test). Hand grip test and QTc interval measurement showed significant changes in newly detected type 2 diabetic patients with a CAN score > 0 compared to controls.
