Аннотация

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a high risk of early mortality and morbidity due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) such as hypertension (AH), stroke and end-stage renal disease. The prevalence of arterial hypertension in patients with diabetes is about twice as high as in patients without diabetes. The incidence of diabetes is growing rapidly and will soon affect 300 million people worldwide, more than half of whom will be hypertensive. Moreover, diabetes mellitus is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease. Recent studies have found that nearly two-thirds of adults with diabetes are on antihypertensive therapy or have blood pressure >130/80 mmHg. st.. Arterial hypertension is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes associated with cardiovascular disease. A study of patients with diabetes mellitus showed that the coexistence of hypertension with diabetes mellitus was associated with the risk of death and cardiovascular complications by 44% and 41%, respectively, compared with 7% and 9% in patients with diabetes mellitus. Hypertension is also the biggest cause of high costs for patients with DM. The prevalence of hypertension among patients with DM is higher than in patients without DM.
