ABSTRACT
Lipid disorders occur in patients with hypertension, cerebrovascular accident [CVA] and NIDDM. However their detection and subsequent intervention remains under-estimated throughout the world due to one or another reason. The aim of this study was to evaluate the status of lipids in our diabetic, hypertensive and stroke patients regardless of their hypertensive and glycemic control, age and sex. This study was carried out on 300 cases of diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cerebrovascular accident at Medical Unit-II of Nishtar Hospital, Multan. Out of 300 patients, 93 [31%] patients showed isolated stroke, 114 [38%] patients showed isolated diabetes mellitus. Isolated hypertension was found among 21 [7%], six [2%] patients out of 300 showed combined, hypertension, CVA and diabetes mellitus. 18% [6%] patients exhibited combined hypertension and stroke. 20 [6.7%] patients were having combined diabetes mellitus and Hypertension. 7 [2.3%] patients out of 300 exhibited combined diabetes mellitus and stroke

This Study comprised 50 patients with age group of 30-60 years, 40 were female and 10 male patients. All patients underwent serial creatinine phosphokinase enzyme measurements, continuous ECC monitoring for at least 12-24 hours and early Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography [DSE].In patients with negative creatinine kinase enzymes and normal findings of ECG monitoring, [DSE] was considered positive in patients with wall motion abnormalities. Five patients had evidence of early myocardial infarction. In the remaining 45 patients DSE was performed. DSE results were of poor quality in 2, non-diagnostic in 6, negative in 22 and positive in 16 patients. Two patients suffered from tachyarrhythmia, one patient has paroxymal atrial tachycardia [PAT] and other suffered ventricular tachycardia. Both were successfully cardioverted
