Relación de la hemoglobina glicosilada y cambios electrocardiográficos en pacientes diabéticos tipo 2 atendidos en el Hospital General Isidro Ayora de Loja, durante Febrero- Junio 2016.

Abstract

Objective: To establish the relationship of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) with the presence of electrocardiographic changes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and its relationship with epidemiological factors. Material and methods: DM2 patients were included without the presence of heart disease. Epidemiologic factors such as age, sex, race and place of residence were determined by a survey. A conventional electrocardiogram was recorded at rest. The association of the variables under study with electrocardiographic changes was analyzed by crossing variables and Pearson correlation. Results: 188 patients were integrated: 45 men (32.4%) and 94 women (67.6%) and some kind of electrocardiographic alteration was identified in 139 (73.94%) subjects. The growth of cavities and negative electrical zone constituted 26.6% of the identified alterations, 81% of patients had more than 7% hemoglobin. HbA1C and electrocardiographic changes do not correlate statistically. Conclusions: Electrocardiographic changes and range of 7-7.99 HbA1C most frequent relate to age, female gender, the mixed race and place of urban residence, however electrocardiographic changes and HbA1C have no statistically significant relationship.
