Prevalence of diastolic dysfunction in Normotensive diabetics below 45 years of age

Abstract

Introduction: Dengue rarely affects the heart but clinical symptoms of cardiac involvement mayrange greatly from silent illness to severe myocarditis resulting in death. Clinical features areasymptomatic and most are transient among patients with DF/DHF. Material and methods: It wasan observational study conducted at the Department of General Medicine, Peoples College of MedicalSciences and Research Centre, Bhopal. The total duration of the study was One and a half yearsfrom November 2016 to APR 2018. All normotensive diabetic patients less than 45 years of agepresenting to the Department of General Medicine, Peoples College of Medical Sciences and ResearchCentre, Bhopal during one and half years from which data was collected using as per givenproforma. Results: In the present study, It was found that significant Pearson's correlation betweenage of diabetics and diastolic changes in ECHO, and serum creatinine and diastolic changes in ECHO.The rest of the parameters like blood urea, blood pressure, RBS, FBS, PPBS, and duration ofdiabetes were not significantly correlated. Conclusion: It was concluded that in the present study,diabetes mellitus is itself a risk factor for developing diastolic dysfunction though its prevalenceincreases with increasing age, serum creatinine and there is no association found between durationof diabetes and diastolic dysfunction. So screening of every young normotensive diabetic for diastolicdysfunction should be done to prevent early cardiovascular disease.
