Abstract:
Essential hypertension is one of the main components of the insulin resistance syndrome. Blood pressure levels are especially critical for the cardiovascular prognosis of patients with diabetes. However, whether the relationship between blood pressure levels and insulin sensitivity is causal, or just an association, remains debatable. In this study, this relationship is explored through the data of currently available clinical trials.
