Table 3. Incidence of cardiovascular complications occurring during minor surgical procedures in patients with both diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HPTN).

Group	Category	No. of patients	Complications occurred (No. of patients)
Group 1	1. Patients with both controlled DM and HPTN (BSL <200 mg/dL, BP=120/80 mmHg)	31	Syncope (1) (recovered after 5 minutes kept under observation, procedure continued without any further complication)
	2. Patients with controlled HPTN but uncontrolled DM (BSL <200 mg/dL, BP up to 159/99 mmHg)	40	Raised blood pressure (1) (observation showed normotensivity)
	3. Patients with controlled DM but uncontrolled HPTN (BSL <200 mg/dL, BP up to 159/99 mmHg)	26	Raised blood Pressure (1) (observation showed normotensivity)
			Mild chest pain relieved on nitroglycerine (1) (needed 24-hour admission, ECG changes were not seen)
	4. Patients with both uncontrolled DM and HPTN (BSL >200 mg/dL, BP >159/99 mmHg)	24	Severe chest pain (1) (patient was treated by an intensivist. ECG changes were noted with S-T segment elevation, suggestive of myocardial infarction, troponin level 0.6 ng/mL)
Group 2	Patients with history of cardiovascular complications attributable to DM and HPTN	19	Mild Chest pain relieved on nitroglycerine (1) (needed 24-hour observation but ECG changes were not seen)
