Incidence of Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy in Type-2 (NonInsulin Dependent) Diabetic Subjects
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 8
Abstract
Forty Diabetics (DM Type-2) were studied to assess Cardiac autonomic dysfunction by a series of five simple non-invasive tests in order to determine the incidence of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve dysfunctions. Out of 40 DM Type-2 subjects, 23 (57.5%) patients had cardiac autonomic neuropathy.Incidence of parasympathetic autonomic neuropathy was 57.5 % in comparison to sympathetic autonomic neuropathy, which was 20%, suggesting that parasympathetic pathway may be more sensitive for detection of cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Highest incidence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy has been observed between the age group of 51 to 60 years and as the duration of disease increases the incidence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy also increases.
