Prevalence of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy and gastroparesis symptoms among patients with type 2 diabetes who attend a primary health care center

Abstract: IntroductionCardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and gastroparesis are two types of diabetic autonomic neuropathy which could affect patients' quality of life and carry significant morbidity and mortality outcomes. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of both CAN and gastroparesis symptoms among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at primary health care level.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 adults with T2DM from April 1, 2017 to March 20, 2… Show more

“…Of these78 cases, 16 had Grade I cardiac autonomic neuropathy, 28 and 34 Grade II and Grade III cardiac autonomic neuropathy respectively. Similarly a study done by Lina Alolaiwi et al, 11 presented that the CAN was present in 15.6%: 2.9% with OH, 5.8% with RT and 8.4% with prolonged QTc. Prolonged T2D duration and anti-HTN were independently associated with CAN.…”

“…[ 6 19 ] The prevalence of CAN is shown to corelate with population characteristics specifically increasing age, duration of diabetes and glycemic control attributing to the differences in prevalence of CAN amongst various studies. [ 6 19 20 21 22 ]…”

“…Although the great difference in the prevalence of OH between the two populations is highlighted, this finding differs from the prevalence of 15.3% found in the literature of diabetic neuropathy, including orthostatic hypotension in the general population of people affected by DM2. 18 However, the prevalence of OH ranges from 31 to 73% according to the diagnostic method; population studied and associated risk factors. 19 In the Brazilian population, there was no statistically significant difference for gender, body mass index, smoking, coronary heart disease complications, heart failure and cerebrovascular disease and the presence of orthostatic hypotension, as in the American study of 302 older adults.…”

“…This difference can be related to the expected evolution of the disease with complications that would be more prevalent in a period of disease equal to or greater than 10 years, mainly in the age group of 60-69, considering that age and time of illness can be independent predictors for the clinical evolution of DM and orthostatic hypotension as its complication. 18,24 The activation of inflammatory cytokines plays an important role in the balance of the sympathetic system in diabetic patients, with inflammatory markers such as elevated CRP, IL-6 and TNF, exerting an inflammatory response in the adipose tissue.…”
