Abstract :

Aim: To compareHeart Rate(HR), Pulse Pressure(PP), Large Artery Stiffness Index(LASI) and Left Ventricle Ejection Time(LVET)in young diabetic patients and non–diabetic controls. Materials and Methods: Total 400 individuals including cases(age= 30 to 50 years) and controls(age= 30 to 50 years) were enrolled for study from January 2017 to June 2018. The patients and controls were taken from Medicine OPD of U.P.U.M.S Saifai, Etawah. Detailed history and clinical examination was done and anthropometric measurements were recorded. Cardiovascular parameters were evaluated using the Dicrowin a Computer based Pulse Plethysmography analysis system made by genesis medical systems. Data was entered in Microsoft excel 2016 and unpaired Student t–test was applied. Results: The mean HbA1c of cases was 8.04±1.36 and of control was 5.34±0.54. There is a statistically significant difference(P value<0.05) between the patients andcontrol group for the mean of HR, PP, LASI and LVET. Conclusion: the finding according to the present study suggested that most of the patients in the study group had significantly higher HR, PP, LASI and LVET as compared to controls. Hence, entirely non–invasive cardiovascular parameters will gain importance in recognising and treating the associated cardiovascular disoders. It can also be used as a prognostic tool in follow up of patients after medical interventions
