11 Study of Electrocardiographic changes with BMI in normal individuals
Journal Title: Indian journal of applied basic medical sciences - Year 2016, Vol 18, Issue 26
Abstract
Objective: To study the electrocardiogram in asymptomatic obese young adults in the form of shift of the axis; voltage of the ECG complexes; P, QRS and T waves; PR and QT intervals; and ST segment and to assess the risk involved in obesity and predict the future cardiovascular diseases. Design: Cross-sectional study. Materials and Methods: 100 volunteered for this study (age range 18-40 years),which were devided in two groups according to BMI.50 subjects with BMI<25kg/m2 as controls and 50 subjects with BMI >30kg/m2 as cases . The Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated by measuring height and weight of the subjects; systolic and diastolic blood pressure and ECG recording by standard method. The results among variables in respective groups of subjects were calculated using relevant statistical method and software program. Results: There was significant increase in the BMI, SBP and DBP in the case group. Mean QRS axis, P wave duration changes were statistically significant. Although PR interval; QT interval and QTc, QRS duration and ST segment were increased in cases but were not statistically significant. Interpretation & Conclusion: Our results suggest that asymptomatic obese individuals have abnormal ECG findings which need a regular check to reduce the chances of its manifestation at a future date.
