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
