Why the study?

Do central arterial pressure and pulse wave velocity predict target organ damage and cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?

Population

110 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes between 20-80 years of age in an urban primary care setting.

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

4 years

Discussion

Implication

Does not yet alter risk stratification in type 2 diabetes; leaves open whether central arterial pressure and pulse wave velocity add independent prognostic value.

Structured PICO

Do central arterial pressure and pulse wave velocity predict target organ damage and cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?

Population

110 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes between 20-80 years of age in an urban primary care setting.

Outcome

Incidence and outcome of target organ damage and the appearance of cardiovascular episodes (cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, chest pain and stroke)composite

This study protocol outlines a prospective observational study to evaluate the prognostic value of central arterial pressure and pulse wave velocity for cardiovascular events and target organ damage in patients with type 2 diabetes.
