A Study of Echocardiographic Evaluation of Diastolic Function in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients without Cardiovascular Risk Factors
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Background: Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a well-known cardiovascular disorder. This study was aimed to evaluate diastolic function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without cardiovascular risk factors based on echocardiographic findings. Material: One year hospital based cross-sectional study. A total of 100 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for a period of one year were enrolled. All the patients underwent 2D echocardiography and were evaluated for diastolic dysfunction. Observations: 58% patients were males and male to female ratio was 1.38:1. The common age group in this study was >60 years (43%) and the mean age was 55.67+-11.13 years. In 41% of the patients the duration of diabetes was between 1-5 years. 57% of the patients had uncontrolled diabetes with HbA1c of >8%. Diastolic dysfunction was present in 36% of the patients. Significant association of diastolic dysfunction was noted with age (p=0.012) and duration of diabetes (p=0.022) but no association was found with sex (p=0.118), body mass index (p=0.419) and glycemic control (p=0.433). Conclusion: Diastolic dysfunction is widely prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus even in the absence of cardiovascular risk factors. Increased age and duration are the significant risk factors for diastolic dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
