Altered Cardiovascular Responses to Exercise in Type 1 Diabetes

Exerc Sport Sci Rev. 2023 Apr 1;51(2):65-72. doi: 10.1249/JES.0000000000000314. Epub 2023 Feb 1.

Abstract

Exaggerated cardiovascular responses to exercise increase the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D); however, the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. This review provides an overview of the altered exercise pressor reflex in T1D, with an emphasis on the mechanical component of the reflex.
