Abstract:Like elsewhere, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an increasingly important cause of morbidity and mortality in Bangladesh. Over the past few decades, because of epidemiological transition, the prevailing disease pattern in this country changed from predominantly communicable to predominantly non-communicable disease, CVD contributes to the latter a lot. Actually, CVD particularly coronary artery disease (CAD) is getting epidemic proportion day by day. Hypertension and heart failure are on the rise, whereas the prevalence of acute rheumatic fever is declining. However, despite some efforts, reliable data concerning various aspects of CVD is inadequate at present. The current prevalence of hypertension, CAD, rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease and stroke may be 20-25%, 4-6%, <1/1000, 0.3-1.0% respectively. Besides conventional risk factors for different CVD, genetic predisposition and some novel issues like high salt intake, arsenicosis, hypovitaminosis D and air pollution may play important role in the aetiopathogenesis of CVD in this population. Formulation of appropriate policy and more emphasis on preventive strategy may help combat CVD in Bangladesh.

“…1 It is an established risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Diabetic nephropathy is one of the complications of diabetes mellitus, which ultimately leads to renal failure and renal failure is a cause of electrolyte imbalance among hospitalized diabetic patients; other causes are diarrhea, vomiting, diuretic use and chronic laxative use.…”

Pattern of Electrolyte Imbalance in Hospitalized DiabeticPatients 22% were on oral anti-diabetic agents and 6% were on medical nutrition therapy. Among the co-morbidities, hypertention was the most prevalent (61%), followed by ischaemic heart disease (24%), chronic kidney disease (21%), dyslipidaemia (8%) and fatty liver (4%). Diabetic peripheral neuropathy was present in 41% cases, nephropathy in 13% cases and retinopathy in 12% cases. Over all 78% (100 patients had electrolyte imbalance out of 128 patients) of patients had some sort of electrolyte imbalance, irrespective of cause of admission. Hyponatraemia was the most common electrolyte imbalance in this study (80%), followed by hypomagnaesemia (38%), hypokalaemia (36%) and hyperkalaemia (14%). In 11% cases there were hyponatraemia, hypokalaemia and hypomagnaesemia. Regarding the precipitating factors, vomiting was most common (51%). In 28% cases electrolyte imbalance was precipitated by various drugs. Diarrhea and renal failure were responsible in a minority of cases. In 4% cases no cause could be identified. No death occurred.Conclusion: From this cross-sectional study it can be concluded that, electrolyte imbalance is common in hospitalized diabetic patients. Serum electrolytes should be checked routinely in hospitalized diabetic patients irrespective of their purpose of admission.

“…Its sample size for biochemical variables, however, was small. In other studies we described non-biochemical risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in a clinic-based [5] and general population [6] of Bangladesh. The current distribution of plasma lipids in the rural population of Bangladesh is not known.…”

Background Plasma lipids are associated with cardiovascular diseases. Population-based data on plasma lipids are scarce in Bangladesh. Methods We investigated plasma lipid levels in a rural population of Bangladesh in 2001. Fasting blood was collected in 447 adults (157 men and 290 women) aged 20-79 years (mean ± standard deviation 40 ± 11 years in men, and 39 ± 10 in women). Results The mean total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides and total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio levels were 182 ± 56, 39 ± 10, 115 ± 53, 139 ± 72 mg/dl and 4.8 ± 1.8, respectively. The prevalence of abnormal lipid levels were as follows: hypercholesterolemia (total cholesterol Z 240 mg/dl) 16.1%, high LDL cholesterol (Z 160 mg/dl) 20.4%, low HDL cholesterol ( < 40 mg/dl) 66.4%, hypertriglyceridemia ( Z 200 mg/dl) 15.0% and total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio ( > 5.5) 32.7%. Conclusions The prevalence of dyslipidemias, especially in the case of low HDL cholesterol, appears to be high even in this rural population of Bangladesh. Eur J Cardiovasc Prev Rehabil 13:444-448
