Hypertension is defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg, documented hypertension, or the use of antihypertensive agents for the treatment of hypertension.
Hypercholesterolemia is defined as LDL cholesterol ≥130 mg/dl or the use of lipid-lowering agents.
ACEi = angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; AER = albumin excretion rate; ARB = angiotensin receptor blocker; CAN = cardiac autonomic neuropathy; CKD-EPI = Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration; CMRI = cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; DCCT/EDIC = Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications; GFR = glomerular filtration rate; HbA1c = glycosylated hemoglobin; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; LDL = low-density lipoprotein.
