Brief Summary

This superiority of central pressure versus peripheral measures to predict cardiovascular events has also been reported in general population or in elder people

Detailed Description

The prognostic value of central systolic/diastolic pressure, central pulse pressure and AI has been well demonstrated, firstly after CAFÉ study, with 2073 hypertensive subjects followed up 3.4 years. It also evidenced higher prognostic value of central blood pressure compared to peripheral blood pressure. One year later, the STRONG study, showed central pulse pressure to be an independent cardiovascular risk factor as well as higher prognostic value compared to peripheral pulse pressure (Hazard ratio; 1,1510 mmHg Vs 1,10mmHg; X2: 13,4; p \< 0,001). Those subjects with higher central blood pressure and central pulse pressure showed higher incidence of cardiovascular events. This superiority of central pressure versus peripheral measures to predict cardiovascular events has also been reported in general population or in elder people.

Finally, it has been also reported that dapagliflozin modestly reduces systolic blood pressure in patients with T2DM who were mostly receiving treatment for hypertension. Despite office blood pressure remains the gold standard method for screening, diagnostic and treatment of hypertension, it has been also well demonstrated that ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) better estimates cardiovascular risk and target organ damage than office blood pressure. It still remains unclear the effects on 24 hours blood pressure reduction with SGLT-2 inhibitors.

The effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on central blood pressure reduction have not been documented.
