Abstract

There is a relationship between the left ventricular diastolic dysfunction with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. A cross sectional study was designed to see the association of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus with diastolic dysfunction of the heart. The study was conducted from April 2012 to March 2013 in the department of cardiology, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh. Sixty cases were selected as study population; twenty one patients were in Group I with good glycaemic controlled of HbA1C <7% and 39 patients were in Group II with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus having HbA1C ≥ 7%. In the study population male were 43(71.70%) and female were 17(28.30%). Mean age in the two groups were 49.05 ± 6.34 years vs. 53.64 ± 5.38 years, which was not significant difference. Duration of diabetes was <10 years and ≥ 10 years in two groups. Glycaemic status (percentage of HbA1C) was 6.55 ± 0.29% vs. 8.72 ± 1.01% in controlled and uncontrolled diabetic patient groups respectively which was significant difference. Diastolic dysfunction was found more in uncontrolled diabetic patient (patients having HbA1C% ≥ 7%) than controlled diabetic patients (HbA1C <7%). Grade I diastolic dysfunction was in uncontrolled and controlled glycae...Continue Reading
