Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 12
Abstract
The prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) today at the Global level is 45 million and is assumed to become 642 million by 2050. T2DM is a major cause for cardiovascular complications and death. The heart rate and blood pressure are said to increase in response to increased myocardial metabolic demand. Rate Pressure product (RPP)is an easily measureable index of increased oxygen demand which can be used. The aimof the study was to find out the association between Rate pressure product and cardio vascular risk in Type 2 DM patients.The Study was conducted in Trichy SRM Medical College in the Department of Physiology and general Medicine in T2DM patients who came for regular checkup. A structured Proforma was used to collect sociodemographic details like age, gender and occupation, clinical history like duration of disease, exercise habits. General examination details, height, weight, BMI and HbA1c were measured. The Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were categorized intotwo groups, Type 2 diabetes mellitus with cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy (CAN) and Type 2 diabetes mellitus without cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy (CAN). Resting blood pressure, heart rate was& ECG were recorded. Rate Pressure Product was measured for the patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus which had a significant correlation with cardiovascular risk.(p<0.005)
