Abstract
Hypertension occurs with greater frequency in diabetic than in non- diabetic patients, and when heart failure develops in these patients it is occasionally resistant to therapy. Clinically, numerous reports have indicated a close relationship between diabetes and hypertension. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM) both show a wide prevalence in humans; they can cause a number of myocardial deficiencies, resulting in a strikingly increased incidence of heart failure. The present study investigated the influence of hypertension, diabetes, and their combination on cardiac function and cardiac contractile proteins in Wistar rats.
