RESUMO
Background: There was increasing evidence that gender differences are important in epidemiology, treatment and outcomes of many diseases, relevant for non-communicable diseases.Methods: Study was conducted in Department of General Medicine, GSL Medical College. Patients who were admitted with type 2 diabetes were recruited in the study. Each patient was interviewed to obtain detailed history and examined thoroughly as per predetermined protocol, national diabetes data group and WHO diagnostic criteria was used. Myocardial infarction was diagnosed by convex ST segment elevation in corresponding leads (early) or QS complexes or abnormal Q waves i.e. Q waves of 0.04 seconds or more in width (or) 25% or more of the voltage of the R wave in the same lead or both in the corresponding leads (late) or T wave inversion in the corresponding leads (late). Statistical analyses were done by using SPSS software version 21.0. Chi-square test was used to assess the association between different categorical variables; p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Out of 250 participants, 97 were diagnosed as coronary artery disease (CAD), maximum between 51-60 years age group; the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). The association between dyslipidemia and CAD was statistically significant (p<0.05). Out of 188 post-menopausal cases, CAD was diagnosed in 86 cases; out of the 62 non post-menopausal cases, CAD was diagnosed in 11 cases; The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05).Conclusions: In premenopausal women, the prevalence of CHDs are significantly higher when compared to postmenopausal women.
RESUMO
Introduction: Study was undertaken to note the levels of highsensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), serum uric acid, serummagnesium levels in acute myocardial infarction (MI).Material and methods: This study was conducted in GSLMedical College, study was approved by institutional ethicalcommittee. Participants were recruited by folloing inclusionand exclusion criteria. After getting detailed history ofpatient’s blood samples were taken for hemoglobin, bloodurea, serum creatinine, uric acid, serum electrolytes, hs CRP,serum uric acid, serum Magnesium. All the participants weresubjected to ECG and ECHO cardiography. Fischer’s exactChi square test was to find statistical analysis, P<0.05 wasconsidered as statistically significant.Results: Of the 100 study participants, 39% participants’hs CRP levels were ≤3mg/dl; statistically the differencewas significant. When serum ureic acid considered, 46%patients with uric acid levels were ≤7mg/dl 66% participants’magnesium levels were > 1.4mg/dl; The difference wasstatistically significant.Conclusion: The above findings showed a positive correlationof elevated hs CRP and uric acid; and low magnesium withvarious risk factors of MI.
