New Delhi, April 1 : Diabetes Patients With High Blood Pressure May Be At Risk Of Developing A Stroke, Finds A Study By Chinese Researchers.
PThe Study Published In The Journal Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research & Reviews, Showed That Systolic Blood Pressure – The Top Number That Measures The Pressure In Arteries When The Heart Beats -- Was Associated With Stroke Risk In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
/pp“Cumulative Systolic Blood Pressure Independently Predicts Stroke In Iniduals With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus And Provides An Incremental Predictive Value For Stroke Compared With Baseline BP Assessments,” Said The Team From The Second Xiangya Hospital Of Central South University In China.
/ppFor The Study, The Team Included 8,282 Participants.In The 6.
36 Years Of Follow-up, 324 (3.91 Per Cent) And 305 (3.
68 Per Cent) Patients Had Any And Nonfatal Stroke Events, Respectively.
/ppThe Results Showed That Cumulative Systolic Blood Pressure And Pulse Pressure Independently Predicted A High Risk Of Stroke.
/pp“A Strong Dose-response Relationship Between Cumulative BP And Stroke Was Identified, And Conventional Risk Factors Combined With Cumulative SBP Improved Prediction Efficiency,” The Team Said.
/ppBoth Diabetes And Hypertension Are Major Public Health Challenges Globally.
Diabetes’ Association With Increased Risk Of Stroke Is Well Known.
Studies Have Shown That Diabetics Have A Two-to Four-fold Increased Risk Of Ischemic Stroke Compared To Those Without The Blood Sugar Condition.
/ppDiabetics With Stroke Also Experience “prolonged Hospital Stays, Enhanced Disability, And Elevated Mortality.
”/ppOn The Other Hand, High Blood Pressure, A Common Among Diabetics, “represents The Most Commonly Diagnosed Modifiable Risk Factor For Stroke,” The Study Showed.
