Abstract :

INTRODUCTION :- Autonomic neuropathy and nephropathy are common but severe complications of diabetes. QTc prolongation is a predictor of CAN (Cardiac autonomic neuropathy) and microalbuminuria is a predictor of nephropathy. This study was done to find the association between QTc interval prolongation and microalbuminuria in patients of type II diabetes mellitus. This cross sectional study was conducted in Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital with 60 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A complete History and thorough clinical examination were recorded in these patients at the time of admission. All these patients were tested for microalbuminuria and QTc interval prolongation in ECG. Studyanalysed by chi square test from two sample proportion. Most of the patients were in 50 to 70 years of age group.
