Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: Patients with diabetes mellitus have high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, a basic characteristic of diabetic heart disease (diabetic cardiomyopathy), appears before the development of systolic dysfunction, suggesting that diastolic markers might be sensitive for early cardiac injury. Methods: This study was conducted on 75 Type 2 normotensive diabetes mellitus patients attending the Department of Internal Medicine at DR SN Medical College & MDM Hospital, Jodhpur and compared to the control group (75 patients). The study subjects were selected from the Diabetics Clinic, General medical wards and OPD’s. Results: Out of 75 cases, 18 cases show retinopathy (24%).However the relation of retinopathy with LVDD was statistically significant (p value <0.01%) as 16 out of 18 (88.89%) cases with diabetic retinopathy showed LVDD. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and institution of treatment for LVDD in diabetic patients will reduce the morbidity and improve the outcomes by preventing future development of heart failure.
