Role of Azelnidipine on management of BP in hypertensive Diabetics: Review

Hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes carry a high cardiovascular risk. Most patients with hypertension and diabetes face higher mortality due to Heart disease and stroke. Hypertension also markedly increases the macrovascular complications like nephropathy and retinopathy in diabetic patients.
The goal of treating hypertension is to prevent cardiovascular complications and the progression of end-organ damage. The main blood pressure goal in hypertensives with diabetics is to maintain blood pressure at <130/80mm hg (1/passerella).
