Blood pressure control in type 2 diabetic patients

Abstract: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and essential hypertension are common conditions that are frequently present together. Both are considered risk factors for cardiovascular disease and microvascular complications and therefore treatment of both conditions is essential. Many papers were published on blood pressure (BP) targets in diabetic patients, including several works published in the last 2 years. As a result, guidelines differ in their recommendations on BP targets in diabetic patients. The method by which to contro… Show more

“…Essential hypertension (EH) is recognized as the leading cause in global death of vascular disease [ 23 ]. Although the BP targets in diabetic hypertensive individuals are controversial, it was common practice to aim for BP targets lower than 130/80 mmHg in most diabetic patients [ 24 ], which will help reduce cardiovascular events (e.g., at least stroke) [ 39 ]. In this study we found that 7 diabetic risk related ACE2 SNPs were associated with increased SBP or DBP with exception of rs1978124.…”

“…Moreover, about 75% of adults with diabetes presented blood pressure of greater or equal to 140/90 mm Hg (Shah & Afzal, ). The occurrence of hypertension in diabetic patients or vice‐versa substantially increases the risks of coronary heart disease, stroke, nephropathy and retinopathy (Schutta, ; Grossman & Grossman, ). Treatment of both conditions is essential and can lead to prescription of synthetic ACE‐inhibitors to diabetic patients.…”
