A Study of cardiac functions in type-2 diabetic patients
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research and Review - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: The cardiomyopathy in diabetes mellitus (DM) is the disorders in cardiac muscle due to prolonged exposure of vascular tissues to hyperglycemia in DM; and is termed as diabetic cardiomyopathy (DC). The early preclinical features of DC are the left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD), preceding the systolic dysfunction and being able to evolve to symptomatic heart failure. Methods: A cross-sectional study was done including 50 DM-2 patients without any feature of cardiovascular involvement and blood pressure less than 130/80 mmHg. Doppler echocardiography was done to evaluate LVDD. Results: In this study results showed diastolic dysfunction was more common among female than male. The prevalence of diastolic dysfunction is more in cases of longer duration of DM. Conclusion: Our study supports other studies that myocardial damage in DM-2 affects diastolic dysfunction before systolic dysfunction. As Doppler echocardiography is a simple non-invasive procedure to assess cardiac function, so in diabetes it should be done routinely in DM for early diagnosis and prevention of further complications
