AIMTo assess the correlation of HBA1C levels with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetic patient. This prospective study was done at Department of General Medicine, OPD, Medical Wards, Stanley Medical College and Hospital, Chennai.
RESULTThe mean HBA1C levels were meaningfully more in Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction (LVDD) positive group compared to the LVDD negative group by 1.33%. This significant difference of 15% increase in mean HBA1C levels in LVDD positive group compared to the LVDD negative group is true and has not occurred by chance.
CONCLUSIONOne-fifth to one-third of diabetic patients will develop LVDD. Patients with HBA1C (8 to 10) have double the chances to develop LVDD than with HbA1c 6.5 to 8. Patients with HBA1C more than 10 have five times the chances to develop LVDD than with HbA1C 6.5 to 8. Patients with HBA1C more than 10 have three times the chances to develop LVDD than with HBA1C 8 to 10. One-fourth to one-half of diabetic patients will develop LVDD grade 1. Patients with HBA1C 8 to 10 have double the chances to develop LVDD grade 1 than with HBA1C 6.5 to 8. Patients with HBA1C more than 10 have four times the chances to develop LVDD grade 1 than with HBA1C 6.5 to 8. Patients with HBA1C more than 10 have two times the chances to develop LVDD than with HBA1C 8 to 10.
