Background: Sudomotor function is used to assessperipheral autonomic system. Electrochemical Skin Conductancemeasurement using electrochemical reaction betweenchloride ions in sweat and stainless steel plate electrodes is a simple, non-invasive and quick method. Several factors, including age, sex, BMI, glycemic status influence sweat function.Aim: Our aim was to determineprevalence of peripheral (DPN) and cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in hypertensi...

Background: Studies show relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) and such diseases as type 2 diabetes (T2DM), hypertension (HT) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). There is relationship both in hyperuricemia (HU), and high–normal values of SUA. Significance of this association is unknown; there are controversial data concerning HU role in patients with T2DM/CVD. The aim of the study was to assess SUA in T2DM patients with ASCVD.<...

Background and aims: The aim of this study was to study the effect of Nebivolol on clinical course and heart rate variability (HRV) parameters in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients (pts) with coronary heart disease (CHD) and Chronic heart failure (CHF) of III-IV FC.Materials and methods: Participants were 35 T2DM pts with CHD and CHF/ III-IV FC. The pts were divided into 2 groups (Gr.) Gr.1 (n=15, 10m/5f, mean age 59±7 years) on basic therapy. G...
