Abstract:
Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction is an early and common complications in type 2 diabetes. Objectives: (1) to determine the parameters of cardiovascular autonomic nervous system by assess the variability of heart rate, blood pressure and (2) to describe its relation to duration of disease, body mass index in 91 patients with diabetes type 2. Methods: We assessed cardiovascular autonomic nervous system by Ewing's maneuvers in comparison with normal subjects. Results: heart rate has little change, indicate that activity of parasympathetic nervous system is reduced. An increased position hypotension was found in the patients. Vasocostriction is rudeced. Conclusions: The variability of heart rate and blood pressure in patients with diabetes mellitus were significantly correlated with the duration of disease and did not correlate with the body mass index.
