Abstract
There is an increase in the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes mellitus and its complications worldwide as well as in India. Type 2 Diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a mature onset disease. Trends from last two decades and even current trends have shown that Type 2 Diabetes and its complications can occur in younger age groups as well, than earlier believed. Type 2 Diabetes patients with Diabetic nephropathy and background hypertension have excessive cardiovascular mortality. It is thus important to know the distribution and prevalence of electrocardiographic changes in various age groups occurring in patients of Diabetic nephropathy especially in Type 2 Diabetes mellitus and with background hypertension whose prevalence is increasing in Indian population and also worldwide. The objective of this study was to find out the age wise prevalence of cardiovascular ailments in Type 2 Diabetic patients with nephropathy and background hypertension and to help clinicians with screening, diagnosis and timely decision making and also in future and ongoing research. The study was conducted over 100 patients with age ranging from 30-90 years and suffering from Diabetic nephropathy of Type 2 Diabetes with background hypertension attending the outpatient and inpatient services of RIMS, Ranchi, India. The patients were divided in four age groups of 30-45 years, 46-60 years, 61-75 years and 76-90 years. The study was approved by the ethical committee of the institute. The study showed that 74% of the patients had ECG changes. The age group 45-60 showed maximum abnormal ECG tracings (32/100) whereas age group 61-75 showed maximum percentage of abnormal ECG (80.46% of 36). 26% had normal ECG tracings. Thus, cardiovascular assessment is must in Type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients with nephropathy and background hypertension.
