This post hoc analysis of the “Healthy walk” study evaluated the effect of interval walking training on cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. At baseline, 64 T2D patients underwent tilt table testing with autonomic reflex tests: heart rate responses to the Vals...
