Why the study?
Recent high-quality multicenter intervention studies provided new evidence-based grounds for setting blood pressure targets in diabetic patients with hypertension, prompting an updated management guideline.
This guideline provides comprehensive recommendations for managing hypertension in diabetic patients, emphasizing an intensive systolic blood pressure target of <120 mmHg to reduce cardiovascular events.
Standardizes BP targets in diabetes; extends prior guidelines with recent multicenter RCT evidence.
Hypertension is one of the most common comorbidities associated with diabetes. The standardized diagnosis and treatment of hypertension in diabetic patients, along with achieving blood pressure targets, is of great significance for reducing long-term complications, extending lifespan, and improving quality of life. Recent high-quality multicenter large-sample intervention studies have provided important evidence-based grounds for setting blood pressure targets in diabetic patients. Therefore, based on a comprehensive summary of important domestic and international research literature, and in combination with clinical practice experience, this management guideline is now formulated.
