- Abstract
This document presents findings from a study on cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in patients with diabetes. The study aimed to identify risk factors for mortality in individuals with CAN. The results showed that older age at CAN diagnosis, decreased body mass index (BMI), and neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (NOH) were significant risk factors for mortality. Additionally, a genetic variant near the NR5A2 gene was associated with increased risk of CAN in non-Hispanic Caucasians. The study suggests that these findings could inform the development of guidelines for prevention and further research on CAN mortality risk factors.
