A Study of Comparison of Left Ventricular Mass in Hypertensive Patients with Diabetes Mellitus And Without Diabetes
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare the left ventricular mass in hypertensive patients with diabetes mellitus and without diabetes mellitus and to compare these two groups with controls in kilpauk medical college hospital,Chennai. Materials And Methods: A total number of 150 subjects (50 Hypertensive cases + 50 Cases of both hypertension and diabetes + 50 controls) are investigated by following measures.Proper history and past medical history and demographic details were collected.General examination, vitals monitoring includes blood pressure and pulse rate ,Body Mass Index,Fasting and Post Prandial Blood Sugar ,Complete hemogram,Blood Urea, Serum Creatinine and Serum Electrolytes Urine analysis,Serum Total Cholesterol, Serum Triglyceride levels., Electro cardio graphy,Chest X-Ray,2-Dimensional Echocardiography were analysed. Results: In our study, we studied 150 subjects (50-HT only, 50- HT+DM, 50- Controlswithout HT and DM) and they were compared with LV mass. The minimum age of the cases and controls was 36 years and maximum age was 85 years. There is significant statistical correlation between age group and left ventricular mass in hypertension with diabetes group with the p value of 0.039. But in control group and cases with hypertension only group, the p value was > 0.05 and it was not statistically significant. There is significant statistical correlation between female (p=0.042) cases with diabetes and hypertension and severity of abnormal left ventricular mass, than males (p=0.286). Conclusion: There is increased left ventricular mass in females with hypertension and diabetes mellitus when compared to females with hypertension alone.There is no significant difference in the left ventricular mass in males in between the two (HT, HT+DM) groups.But the mean left ventricular mass was increased in both males and females of diabetes and hypertension group when compared to hypertension only group. . In our study, advancing age group is associated with increased left ventricular mass in cases of both hypertension and diabetes group.
