Glycosylated hemoglobin levels and complications of acute coronary syndromes - A prospective study at tertiary care hospital
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Background and objectives: This study was aimed to find out the role of glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and complications of ACS patient. Methodology: This hospital based prospective observational study was carried out for the period of 15 months from January 2017 to March 2018. A total of 100 patients who presented with ACS were studied. Results: Most of the patients were males (54%) and mean age was 62.36±9.89 years. The mean fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels were 107.64±10.60 mg/dL, post prandial blood sugar (PPBS) levels were 174.62±31.88 mg/dL. HbA1c levels were ≥6.5 percent in majority of the patients (68%) and Complications were noted in 25% of the patients. Left ventricle function (LVF) was noted in 16% and arrhythmia in 5%. Mortality was noted in 2% of the patients. Significantly higher number of patients with HbA1c levels ≥6.5 percent had complications (p=0.048). Conclusion and interpretation: Admission HbA1c levels are associated with in hospital adverse events, complications and outcome in ACS.
