Key result
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with or without essential hypertension, have lower heart rate deceleration capacity and deceleration runs compared to healthy subjects.
Why the study?
Do patients with T2DM with or without essential hypertension have impaired autonomic function as measured by heart rate deceleration capacity and deceleration runs compared to healthy subjects?
Cross-Sectional (n=195)
Do patients with T2DM with or without essential hypertension have impaired autonomic function as measured by heart rate deceleration capacity and deceleration runs compared to healthy subjects?
Patients with T2DM, with or without hypertension, exhibit impaired autonomic function characterized by reduced heart rate deceleration capacity and deceleration runs, which correlate with glycemic control and insulin resistance.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May aid autonomic assessment in T2DM with hypertension; leaves open prognostic value and therapeutic implications.
Wang et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus and essential hypertension (n=195). Type 2 diabetes mellitus with or without essential hypertension vs. Healthy subjects was evaluated on Heart rate deceleration capacity (DC) and deceleration runs (DRs). Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with or without essential hypertension, have lower heart rate deceleration capacity and deceleration runs compared to healthy subjects.
