In conclusion, the risk of cardiovascular disease and allcause
mortality was very high in patients with type 2 diabetes
and RI in clinical practice, and increased significantly with
both high and low SBP and DBP in a U-shaped manner. A
SBP of 135–139 mmHg and a DBP of 72–74 mmHg were
associated with the lowest risks of CVE and all-cause
mortality.
Abstract
Aims/hypothesis We assessed the relationship between BP
and risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs) and all-cause mortality
in patients with type 2 diabetes and renal impairment
(estimated GFR<60 ml min−1 1.73 m−2) treated in clinical
practice.
Methods A total of 33,356 patients (aged 75±9 years, diabetes
duration of 10±8 years) with at least one serum creatinine
and BP value available in the Swedish National Diabetes
Register between 2005 and 2007 were followed up until
2011 or death. The relationships between mean BPs, CVEs
and all-cause mortality were examined using time-dependent
Cox models to estimate HRs, adjusting for cardiovascular risk
factors and ongoing medications.
Results During the follow-up period (mean 5.3 years), 11,317
CVEs and 10,738 deaths occurred. The lowest risks of CVEs
and all-causemortalitywere observedwith a systolic BP (SBP)
of 135–139 and a diastolic BP (DBP) of 72–74mmHg, and the
highest risks were observed for those with SBP intervals 80–
120 (CVE HR 2.3 [95% CI 2.0, 2.6] and all-cause mortality
HR 2.4, [95% CI 2.1, 2.7]) and 160–230 mmHg (CVE HR 3.0
[95%CI 2.6, 3.3] and all-cause mortality HR 2.0 [95% CI 1.8–
2.3]) and DBP intervals 40–63 mmHg (CVE HR 2.0 [95% CI
1.8, 2.2], all-cause mortality HR 2.0 [95% CI 1.8, 2.2]) and
83–125 mmHg (CVE HR 2.3 [95% CI 2.0, 2.5], all-cause
mortality HR 2.3 [95% CI 2.0, 2.6]).
Conclusions/interpretation In this nationwide cohort of patients
with type 2 diabetes and renal impairment, the risk of
CVEs and all-cause mortality increased significantly with
both high and low BPs, while an SBP of 135–139 mmHg
and DBP of 72–74 mmHg were associated with the lowest
risks of CVEs and death.
