A lower risk for cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease events, as well as improved mortality, was found among patients with type 2 diabetes assigned blood pressure-lowering therapies, according to findings published in JAMA.

Kazem Rahimi, DM, MSc, and colleagues from The George Institute for Global Health conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of BP-lowering treatment that included patients with diabetes to determine the effects of treatment on vascular disease among patients with type 2 diabetes.
