To Study the Electrocardiographic Changes in Chronic Severe Anemic Patients
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Anemia is defined as reduction of total circulatory red cell mass below normal limits, it is measured by reduction in hematocrit, and reduction in Hemoglobin concentration of blood. Several studies in patients with diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or coronary artery disease have supported an association between anemia and left ventricular(LV) diastolic dysfunction Aims and Objectives: To record the electrocardiographic changes in chronic severe anaemic patients. To compare the findings with control group. Material and Methods: This study was conducted at M.M. Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Mullana, ambala. 50 patients of severe anemia (Hemoglobin<8gm/ dl) between 20 to50 years of age free of cardio-respiratory diseases were taken from OPD and indoor wards of medicine department during Oct 2012 to Dec 2014 . 50 age and sex matched controls were taken for comparative study. All the patients were scrutinized and investigated as per the plan. All were subjected to evaluation by electrocardiogram. Results: In our study there the changes were due to hypoxia of the myocardium occurred due to decreased oxygen carrying capacity of blood because of decreased Hb concentration. So the abnormalities were chiefly due to subendocardial ischemia showing abnormal pattern of ST segment (depression, in some cases elevation) & T wave (inversion) in ECG without associated QRS abnormality. Conclusion: Electrocardiogram can be used as a sensitive tool to assess morbidity associated with severly ill patients.
