ABSTRACT:

Objective: To determine the frequency of diastolic dysfunction in cases of diabetes mellitus. Methodology; This study was carried out at multicenters in Pakistan during January to June 2019. In the present study the cases of either gender with age range of 30 years or more with history of DM of at least 1 years were included. The cases with ischemic heart disease, end stage renal or liver disease were excluded. Diastolic dysfunction was labelled as yes when on trans thoracic echocardiography the E/A ratio was less than 0.8. Results; In the present study there were total 100 cases of DM. Out of these 53 (53%) were males and 47 (47%) were females. The mean age of the cases was 51.35± 8.67 and mean duration of DM was 5.15± 2.23 years. Diastolic dysfunction was seen in 54 (54%) of the cases. Diastolic dysfunction was seen in 22 (73.33%) of cases with p= 0.01. This was also seen significantly high in cases that had BMI more than 30 where it was seen in 26 (68.42%) of cases with p=0.04. Conclusion; Diastolic dysfunction is common in cases of DM and it is significantly associated with HTN and obesity. Key words: DM, Diastolic dysfunction
