Blood-pressure management and hypertension trials relevant to diabetes, renal, and cardiovascular risk.
A post-hoc ACCORD-BP analysis links intensive blood pressure control to lower cardiovascular events in diabetics with prior stroke, without raising recurrent stroke. PICO summary and commentary.
A multicentre open-label RCT testing whether 12-month mHealth home telemonitoring improves blood pressure and HbA1c versus standard care in older adults with hypertension and type 2 diabetes. PICO summary and expert commentary.
A small randomized trial compared perindopril plus indapamide against perindopril plus moxonidine (both with metformin) for left ventricular and renal protection in hypertension with prediabetes. PICO summary and expert commentary.
In patients with type 2 diabetes, intensive blood-pressure control (targeting systolic BP <120 mm Hg) significantly reduced cardiovascular events compared to standard treatment (systolic BP <140 mm Hg), though it was associated with increased risks of symptomatic hypotension and hyperkalemia.
