Popis: Hypertension (HTN) in Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is often treated with an ACEi/ARB + additional antihypertensives agents (AHTs). Dapagliflozin (DAPA) is an inhibitor of sodium glucose co-transporter 2, reducing hyperglycemia in T2D by increasing urinary glucose excretion. This is associated with weight reduction, osmotic diuresis and serum uric acid reduction, all of which may contribute to BP lowering. This Phase 3 study assessed 12 weeks of DAPA 10 mg (N=225) or placebo (PBO; N=224) in T2D patients (HbA1c 7.0-10.5%) with HTN (seated SBP / DBP 140
