Hypertensive diabetic patients: incidence of cardiovascular and renal outcomes in a historical cohort over 11 years

Abstract: BackgroundDiabetics have increased risks for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality, reducing their life expectancy by up to 15 years. Type 2 diabetes mellitus specifically increases the risk for cardiovascular mortality nearly fivefold. When hypertension is combined with diabetes, the risk of CVD is even greater.ObjectiveIdentify non-fatal cardiovascular outcomes and renal function impairment in a cohort of hypertensive patients in regular treatment in a reference treatment center, over 11 years of follow… Show more

“…The risk of cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes is twofold to fourfold greater than individuals of same age and sex without diabetes [12] . Patients of hypertensive diabetes had a higher risk of cardiovascular events, the risk of myocardial infarction was 12.2 times greater and the risk of stroke was 6.1 times greater than non-diabetic hypertensive patients [13] .…”
