Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy affected 30.5% of patients with type 1 diabetes and was independently associated with diabetic retinopathy (OR 6.95), diabetic neuropathy, and resting heart rate.

Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy is highly prevalent (30.5%) in patients with type 1 diabetes and is independently associated with resting heart rate, diabetic neuropathy, and retinopathy.

Supports CAN screening in T1D with retinopathy; leaves open causal impact in cross-sectional data.
Tannus et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 1 Diabetes (n=151). Diabetic retinopathy vs. Absence of diabetic retinopathy was evaluated on Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) (OR 6.95, 95% CI 1.68-28.8, p=0.008). Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy affected 30.5% of patients with type 1 diabetes and was independently associated with diabetic retinopathy (OR 6.95), diabetic neuropathy, and resting heart rate.
