Key result
Co-existing hypertension in type 2 diabetics was associated with a significantly lower LF/HF ratio (1.29 vs 2.61) compared to normotensive diabetics, with no significant difference in other HRV parameters.
Why the study?
Does co-existing hypertension worsen cardiac dysautonomia measured by heart rate variability in type 2 diabetics?
Population
138 Indian type 2 diabetics treated as outpatients, mean age 56 and 51 years.
Comparison
Co-existing hypertension vs Normotensive type 2 diabetics

Hypertension may not worsen dysautonomia in poorly controlled T2DM; leaves open glycemic optimization and prospective HRV trials.

Does co-existing hypertension worsen cardiac dysautonomia measured by heart rate variability in type 2 diabetics?
Absolute Event Rate: 1.29% vs 2.61%
In type 2 diabetics, treated hypertension with good blood pressure control does not significantly worsen cardiac dysautonomia beyond the effects of diabetes itself.
Solanki et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes (n=138). Hypertension vs. Normotensive was evaluated on LF/HF ratio. Co-existing hypertension in type 2 diabetics was associated with a significantly lower LF/HF ratio (1.29 vs 2.61) compared to normotensive diabetics, with no significant difference in other HRV parameters.
