CORRELATION OF HBA1C LEVELS TO DIASTOLIC DYSFUNCTION ASSESED BY ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY IN STROKE PATIENTS.
K. Praveen, C. Raghuram
Abstract :
AIMS :
v Assess the level of HbA1c in relation to stroke.
v To determine the relationship between HbA1c and diastolic dysfunction in stroke patients.
METHODS :
A cross-sectional hospital-based study was done which included 50 patients with stroke. Diastolic dysfunction was evaluated by Doppler echocardiography, in relation with age/sex and HbA1c level in these patients. Data compiled & analysed in Microsoft Excel 2013 & Predictive analytics Software (SPSS) Vr. 11. Results shown in Frequencies and proportions. Sample �t� Significance tests applied. All stroke cases admitted in the department of General Medicine, ASRAMS, Eluru ,Andhra Pradesh, India between July 2015 to october 2016 were taken for the study.
RESULTS :
v The study showed that 74% of stroke patients had diastolic dysfunction.
v 20 % and 70 % were categorized as pre diabetic and diabetics respectively on the basis of HbA1c levels.
CONCLUSIONS :
v This Study demonstrated a highly significant (positive) correlation between HbA1C level and frequency of diastolic dysfunction in stroke patients.
v Higher HbA1c level is a reliable predictor of diastolic dysfunction in stroke patients.
v Hence we recommend HbA1c level as an independent predictor of stroke.
v Doppler Echocardiography is a simple noninvasive valuable tool in diagnosing diastolic dysfunction.
v Diabetic patients have higher tendency to develop Diastolic dysfunction which is usually undiagnosed.
v Thus, early Echocardiography is advised in all diabetics to assess the cardiac function
