Pulse pressure and systolic night–day ratio interact in prediction of macrovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We examined the predictive ability of 24-hour ambulatory pulse pressure (24-h PP), ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) and diurnal blood pressure (BP) parameters for fatal and non-fatal CVD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A total of 108 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (mean duration 6.6 years) were followed for 9.5 (0.5-14.5) years. At baseline, all patients underwent ambulatory BP monitoring.… Show more

“…Similar to prior studies, [13,14,18] our present study also shows that in diabetic hypertensive patients, ABP is superior to CBP in relation to prevalent CVD. The novel finding of our present study is that aldosterone excess may be the underlying mechanism contributing to the association between ambulatory SBP and prevalent CVD in diabetic hypertensive populations.…”

“…Moreover, a blunted nocturnal BP fall precedes micro-and macro-vascular complications of diabetes [20][21][33][34]79]. So far, however, an abnormal rhythm has been generally understood as a nondipper pattern [(awake BP mean -asleep BP mean)/awake BP mean x 100 < 10%] since the circadian rhythm of BP has rarely been stylised by cosinor analysis [22,44,[49][50]77].…”

“…PP increases with age and is typically more increased in patients with type 2 diabetes. 25 The elevated PPs at baseline and the association with fibulin-1 indicate the presence of vascular fibrosis and arterial stiffness in the present study population. The reductions in both PP and plasma fibulin-1 levels after low-dose spironolactone treatment further support our hypothesis that the antihypertensive effect of the mineralocorticoid receptor blocker may in part be mediated by a regression of vascular remodeling.…”
