Title: Exercise Induced Hypertension in Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy
Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinial significance of exercise induced BP response in patients with diabetic autonomic neuropathy. Methods We selected 80 patients with type 2 diabetes and 30 health controls for the study. According to the results test of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathic function(SCANFT), the patients with type 2 diabetes were divided into two groups: 38 case diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN) and 42 diabetes without complications(SDM). Treadmill test and 24 h ambulatory blood pressure were examined in the three groups. Results No significant difference in resting blood pressure was found in three groups. The exercise induced BP response were significantly higher in the DAN group. In 55.3% of DAN BP respionse was higher than the normal upper limit, while only 11.9% in SDM and 12.5% in control. Average 24 h, daytime and nighttime systolic blood pressure were significantly higher in diabetes ( P 0 01), but no difference were found between the SDM and DAN. Average 24 h, daytime and nighttime diastolic blood pressure were significantly higher in DAN ( P 0 01), than that in controls but no difference were found between the SDM and the control. Conclusion Patients with diabetic autonomic neuropathy are associated with hygher incidence of exercise induced hypertension. Exercise hypertension may be helpful to predict diabetic autonomic neuropathy.
