Lim LL, et al. - Whether peripheral autonomic dysfunction can predict incident cardiovascular-renal events in type 2 diabetes (T2D) was investigated using an age-adjusted electrochemical skin conductance (ESC) composite score incorporating hands/feet ESC measurements with a score ≤ 53 indicating sudomotor dysfunction. Researchers examined incident cardiovascular-renal events until 2015 in Chinese adults who underwent structured diabetes assessment in 2012-2013 and had no preexisting cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). They found that incident cardiovascular-renal events and death in T2D was independently predicted by a low ESC composite score. This could help with screening for early intervention.
