In type 2 diabetes, low systolic blood pressure is not associated with increased all-cause mortality risk compared to higher blood pressure targets.
Is low systolic blood pressure associated with an elevated risk of all-cause mortality or cardiovascular and renal outcomes compared with higher BP targets in patients with type 2 diabetes?
Low systolic blood pressure is not associated with increased all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes, suggesting that previously reported J-curve associations were likely due to reverse causation and unmeasured confounding.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
In type 2 diabetes, BP is linearly or monotonically associated with most cardiovascular and renal outcomes. Low SBP does not appear to be associated with an elevated risk of all-cause mortality compared with higher BP targets, suggesting that previously reported associations are likely due to reverse causation and unmeasured confounding.
Wang et al. (Wed,) reported a other. In type 2 diabetes, low systolic blood pressure is not associated with increased all-cause mortality risk compared to higher blood pressure targets.
