Abstract

Physical activity is an essential element in the therapy of type 2 Diabetes mellitus. For physicians and therapists, it is of vital importance to motivate each patient to include exercise into routine daily life. Individual therapy plans are, thus, required.

Heart Rate and Oxygen Uptake Kinetics in Type 2 Diabetes Patients – A Pilot Study on the Influence of Cardiovascular Medication on Regulatory Processes

“…is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This presents a major challenge to healthcare systems for several aspects [1][2][3][4]. T2DM is often accompanied by comorbidities such as arterial hypertension [5,6], lipid metabolism disorders [7], overweight or obesity [8].…”

“…T2DM is often accompanied by comorbidities such as arterial hypertension [5,6], lipid metabolism disorders [7], overweight or obesity [8]. This cluster of diseases is termed the metabolic syndrome [4]. Centrally acting beta blockers, affecting directly the sympathetic nervous system to decrease heart rate (HR) and consequently cardiac output (Q'), or peripherally acting drugs as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or calcium-channel blockers, influencing the vascular tone, are commonly used to control arterial hypertension in patients with T2DM.…”
