RESUMEN
La asociación de hipertensión arterial y diabetes mellitus tipo 2 aumenta el riesgo de complicaciones micro y macrovasculares y es responsable de la mayoría de los casos de insuficiencia renal crónica y de morbimortalidad cardiovascular. Se sabe que el tratamiento oportuno y eficaz de la hipertensión arterial protege la función renal y disminuye el riesgo de eventos cardiovasculares; asimismo, que el control farmacológico de la presión arterial en el paciente diabético se puede lograr con inhibidores del sistema renina-angiotensina, diuréticos, inhibidores del sistema nervioso simpático, o con bloqueadores de los canales de calcio, teniendo algunos de ellos beneficios adicionales a la reducción de presión arterial. Diversos estudios revelan que la reducción de la presión arterial a cifras ‹ 130/80 mmHg es el factor principal para disminuir las complicaciones micro y macrovasculares de los diabéticos hipertensos, ya que mejora la excreción urinaria de albúmina, la función endotelial y disminuye la actividad inflamatoria, independientemente del fármaco utilizado. Se concluye que el tratamiento antihipertensivo del paciente diabético debe considerar como esencial el control satisfactorio de la presión arterial, estar dirigido a prevenir el daño en órganos blanco y tener en cuenta el nivel económico del paciente. La combinación inicial más costo-efectiva es la de un IECA y un diurético, o un IECA y un β-bloqueador selectivo, los cuales brindan protección cardiovascular y renal apropiadas.
