Long-term effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition and metabolic control in hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients

Abstract: In this prospective cohort analysis involving 102 hypertensive, type 2 diabetic patients with varying degrees of albuminuria followed up for a mean duration of five years, we observed the importance of good metabolic and blood pressure control on the progression of albuminuria and renal function. Treatment with enalapril was associated with a greater reduction in albuminuria than with nifedipine in the entire patient group, and especially in those with microalbuminuria. In the macroalbuminuric patients, the ra… Show more

“…Thus, our findings challenge the current dogma of 'the higher HDL-C, the better the clinical outcomes'. In support of these 'paradoxical' findings, in a 3-year clinical trial comparing the effects of Enalapril and Nifedipine in hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients, high HDL-C was an independent predictor of declining GFR [28]. There are clinical and experimental evidence suggesting alterations in structure and function of HDL-C particles in the presence of albuminuria and renal dysfunction [29,30].…”

“…Diabetic patients are at risk of cardiovascular and atherosclerotic disease development and progression. Efforts should be made to reduce elevated blood pressure among diabetics with available medications, as tight blood pressure control have shown reductions in morbidity and mortality and diabetes related complications [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53]. Additionally, diabetic patients should be screened for dyslipidemia as well, as this pathological state leads to CAD or IHD with high morbidity and mortality rates.…”

“…Several studies performed on normotensive, microalbuminuric patients with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes have shown that ACEI are very effective in reducing the incidence of overt proteinuria (secondary prevention) regardless of the BP levels (approximate risk reduction ratio [aRRR], 70% to 100%) (13-16). The MicroHOPE Study (17), which was performed on a large population, as well as two other smaller studies (18,19) confirm the efficacy of ACEI compared with other types of treatment in hypertensive, microalbuminuric, type 2 diabetic patients, in secondary prevention (aRRR, 23 to 68%). However, the same effect was not observed in two other studies (20,21).…”
