Author(s): Beunen Biomed*
Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) frequently coexist, creating a synergistic impact on cardiovascular health. This integrative review examines the components contributing to the complex interplay between hypertension and T2D and evaluates the current pharmacotherapeutic strategies employed to manage this dual burden. By synthesizing evidence from diverse sources, this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted relationship between hypertension and T2D and inform targeted approaches for effective management. The review scrutinizes the pathophysiological components linking hypertension and T2D, encompassing insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammatory processes. Additionally, it explores the role of lifestyle factors, genetics, and demographic variables in shaping the hypertensive profile of individuals with T2D. Phar.. View More»
