Are T2DM with subsequent HTN and HTN with subsequent diabetes associated with higher cardiovascular disease risks in a nationwide cohort?
The sequential development of both T2DM and hypertension, regardless of which condition occurs first, is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
This nationwide cohort study demonstrated that both T2DM with subsequent HTN and HTN with subsequent diabetes were associated with higher cardiovascular disease risks.
Yen et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
