STUDY OF ARTERIAL PARAMETERS IN DIABETES MELLITUS USING IMPEDANCE PLETHYSMOGRAPHY.
Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Background And Objectives: Impedance Plethysmography (IPG) is a simple, low cost and non–invasive tool to assess the central and peripheral blood flow in human body. The literal meaning of IPG is “Recording of the blood volume changes indirectly in any part of the body by measurement of its electrical impedance. Diabetes is a one of the leading cause of peripheral vascular diseases (PVDs) which begins mainly from distal part of lower extremities in diabetic patients. So Blood flow measurement in lower extremities may become useful predictor of PVDs. The Objective of present study was to measure blood flow index (BFI) in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: The study was carried out on two group- diabetic (n=100, 53 male; 47 female) and control group (n=50, 27 male; 23 female) in the cardiovascular laboratory, Department of physiology, Govt. Medical College, Bhavnagar. Results: BFI was lower in thigh and calf of Diabetic group compared to Control group. BFI had negative correlation with LDL and HBA1C. Interpretation & Conclusion: Blood flow in lower extremities of diabetic group was reduced compared to control group. Poor control of diabetes affects blood flow in lower extremities of diabetic patients. By this simple, harmless, inexpensive, objective and non-invasive hemodynamic test, we can predict earlier onset of PVD in case of Diabetic patients and this test may replace other invasive hemodynamic test for screening vascular disorders.
