Appropriate blood pressure control in hypertensive and normotensive type 2 diabetes mellitus: a summary of the ABCD trial

Abstract: The hypertensive and normotensive Appropriate Blood Pressure Control in Diabetes (ABCD) studies were prospective, randomized, interventional clinical trials with 5 years of follow-up that examined the role of intensive versus standard blood pressure control in a total of 950 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the hypertensive ABCD study, a significant decrease in mortality was detected in the intensive blood pressure control group when compared with the standard blood pressure control group. There was … Show more

“…Clinical trials have previously shown that a high BP increases the risk of CVEs (especially stroke) and all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes [23,24]. However, in the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) BP study in patients with nearly to normal renal function, a target SBP of ≤120 mmHg did not reduce the risk of major CVE compared with a SBP of ≤140 mmHg [10].…”

“…Several factors are known to slow the rate of urinary albumin excretion or to prevent its development. They include reducing blood pressure (with a blocker of the renin angiotensin system as part of the regimen), glycemic control, and lipid-lowering therapy (45,(343)(344)(345).…”

“…The association between diabetes and hemorrhagic stroke is controversial. 3,4,13 However, diabetes often coexists with hypertension, 14 which has been reported to have an association with cerebral hemorrhage. 15 The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between the incidence of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and hyperglycemia and to compare the differences between fasting and 2-hour plasma glucose criteria.…”
