Journal Title: Harsukh Educational Charitable Society International Journal of Community Health and Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Obesity increases cardiac adverse events via risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome like dyslipidemia, hypertension and glucose intolerance, and also effects from sleep disorders associated with obesity. Hence; we planned the present study for carrying out cardiographic assessment in subjects with different body mass index. Materials & methods: The present study included cardiographic assessment in subjects with different body mass index. A total of 150 subjects were included in the present study. All the subjects were broadly divided into two study groups with 75 subjects in each group. One group was obese group, while the other group was non-obese group. After giving the subjects a 10 minutes of rest, 12-lead ECG was taken using 12-lead ECG machine. Recording of the standard 12-lead electrocardiograms was done in the subjects in the postprandial state and supine position. Following parameters were measured: Heart rate (HR), P wave duration, QRS interval, and PR interval. All the results were recorded in Microsoft excel sheet and were analyzed by SPSS software. Results: Mean P wave duration among subjects of obese and non-obese group was 102.3 and 95.2 milliseconds respectively. Significant results were obtained while comparing the mean P wave duration among subjects of obese and non-obese group respectively. However; non- significant results were obtained while comparing the QRS duration, PR interval and QT interval among subjects of both the study groups. Conclusion: Higher prevalence of abnormal ECG findings occurs in obese subjects. However; further research is this field of medicine is recommended.
