According to WHO projections, both developed and developing countries, prevalence rates of diabetes and hypertension will be presented a rapidly increasing trend. With non-diabetic, compared to the proportion of diabetic patients to have hypertension than non-diabetic patients with high. In diabetic patients, 60% of type 2 diabetic patients with high blood pressure.
The coexistence of diabetes and hypertension significantly increased the heart, brain, kidney and other target organ damage in risk, but also is often associated with other cardiovascular risk factors, such as dyslipidemia, albuminuria and high coagulation status. Hypertension occurs in patients with end-stage renal failure diabetes risk should be increased 5-6 times. Information: In the newly diagnosed diabetic patients, if hypertension, then, microalbuminuria, left ventricular hypertrophy and ECG signs of myocardial infarction, and significant history of cardiovascular events such as the situation will be doubled. Currently receiving dialysis and renal transplantation more than 40% of people with diabetes, and in these patients, 90% of patients with hypertension.
Growing body of research compelling, and effective treatment of hypertension can delay the development of diabetic vascular complications and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. United Kingdom a 20-year large-scale clinical trial results showed that: the strict control of blood pressure, blood pressure 144/80mmHg following diabetic patients with hypertension and non-strict control of blood pressure and blood pressure in patients with less than 154/78mmHg, strict control of blood pressure and diabetes-related concurrency can disease to reduce 24%, stroke by 44%, microvascular complications by 37%. Hypertension Optimal Treatment Trial showed that when the blood pressure down to normal levels, can prevent diabetes, high blood pressure in patients suffering from cardiovascular disease due to premature death. It should be said, strictly control blood pressure and strengthen the control of blood sugar in diabetic patients with hypertension are equally important. However, many patients with diabetes tend to be less attention to their blood pressure situation; while often overlooked in patients with hypertension on blood glucose testing.
