Asbin Aziz, Apoorva Panchakshare

Abstract :

Diabetes mellitus is a risk factor of coronary artery diseases. Non–invasive cardiovascular imaging offers an opportunity to detect the presence and severity of CAD. This study is done in view of screening the asymptomatic diabetic individuals presenting to our hospital for any evidence of early cardio–vascular manifestations. With the aid of non–invasive testing such as 2D ECHO the early changes were noted and compared with the normal population and the cardiac status thus evaluated. 106 patients (53 diabetic and 53 non–diabetic controls) were included in the study. The main objective of the study was to evaluate diabetic patients without overt symptoms of any cardiac disease for Echocardiographic changes. It was observed that majority among the diabetic population were found to have statistically significant changes in 2D ECHO including the presence of LV diastolic dysfunction and RWMA to be evident among the diabetic population
