Cardiovascular control in diabetes mellitus.

T Bennett, D J Hosking, J R Hampton
PMCID: PMC1673543  PMID: 1131623

Abstract

Heart rate variability and the changes in heart rate and blood pressure which occur on standing were measured in 21 diabetics. These simple measures distinguished four groups of patients, with loss of parasympathetic activity being commoner than loss of sympathetic activity.
