چکیده

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of parental type 2 diabetes on the autonomic nervous system and to determine whether autonomic neuropathy is present and associated with changes in 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (AMBP) and urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) in nondiabetic subjects with parental type 2 diabetes. We examined 223 nondiabetic offspring of type 2 diabetic subjects and a control group of 258 offspring of nondiabetic subjects. The autonomic nervous system was assessed by three cardiovascular reflex tests, 24-h AMBP was measured with an oscillometric recorder (90207; Spacelabs, Redmond, WA), and UAER was determined through three overnight urine samples. The subjects with parental type 2 diabetes had significantly lower heart rate variation in all three bedside tests (P < 0.01) than subjects without parental diabetes. The prevalence of autonomic neuropathy in the nondiabetic offspring with parental type 2 diabetes (6.7%) was significantly (P < 0.01) higher compared with the control group (1.6%). Autonomic neuropathy was associated with a higher fasting insulin level (P < 0.05), higher UAER (P < 0.001), higher 24-h mean AMBP (P < 0.01), and reduced diurnal blood pressure variation (P < 0.001) after adjustment for age, sex, and BMI. In conclusion, parental type 2 diabetes was found to be associated with alterations in the autonomic nervous system in nondiabetic subjects. The presence of autonomic neuropathy in subjects with parental type 2 diabetes was associated with higher UAER, fasting insulin level, and 24-h AMBP and a reduced diurnal blood pressure variation. This study indicates that parental type 2 diabetes has an impact on the cardiac autonomic function in nondiabetic subjects.

Urinary albumin excretion rate is associated with increased ambulatory blood pressure in normoalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the 24-h blood pressure profile in normoalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in 90 type 2 diabetic patients with a urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) <20 microg/min on two occasions, 6 months apart (immunoturbidimetry). Patients underwent clinical and laboratory evaluations. Ambulatory blood pressure m...

Increased Night/day Diastolic Blood Pressure Ratio Is Associated with High Normal Urinary Albumin Excretion and Retinopathy in Normotensive and Normoalbuminuric Type 1 Diabetic Patients

The aim of the study was to determine whether a reduced nocturnal fall in blood pressure would increase the risk of microvascular complications in normoalbuminuric and normotensive type 1 diabetics. The study included 139 type 1 diabetic patients with urinary albumin excretion <30 mg/24 h and casual blood pressure <130/80 mm Hg. Direct ophthalmoscopy and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure were perf...

Increased QTc dispersion is related to blunted circadian blood pressure variation in normoalbuminuric type 1 diabetic patients.

A reduced nocturnal fall in blood pressure (BP) and increased QT dispersion both predict an increased risk of cardiovascular events in diabetic as well as nondiabetic subjects. The relationship between these two parameters remains unclear. The role of diabetic autonomic neuropathy in both QT dispersion and circadian BP variation has been proposed, but data have been conflicting. The aim of the ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of white-coat hypertension (WCH) on microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in normotensive patients and patients with WCH selected from a cohort of 319 type 2 diabetic patients. Normotension was defined by office blood pressure <140/90 mmHg and daytime blo...
