CURRENT TRENDS IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION IN DIABETES MELLITUS

Abstract

Numerous studies have shown that diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension are similarly associated with an increase in cardiovascular mortality. The presence of both diseases increases the risk of death by 2 times. At the same time, in 80% of cases, diabetes mellitus is accompanied by arterial hypertension [1, 2]. The close relationship between these diseases is based on the unity of pathogenetic links, in particular insulin resistance and hypersympathicotonia. This review is devoted to current trends in the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus.
