UPDATE OF CARDIOVASCULAR AUTONOMIC NEUROPATHY IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES
Keyword(s):
The burden of diabetic cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is expected to increase due to the diabetes epidemic and its early and widespread appearance. CAN has a definite prognostic role for mortality and cardiovascular morbidity. Putative mechanisms for this are tachycardia, QT interval prolongation, orthostatic hypotension, reverse dipping, and impaired heart rate variability, while emerging mechanisms like inflammation support the pervasiveness of autonomic dysfunction. Efforts to overcome CAN under-diagnosis are: by promoting screening for symptoms and signs; by simplifying cardiovascular reflex tests.
