STUDY OF QTC INTERVAL IN TYPE-2 DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENT

Background & Objectives: To study the prevalence of Corrected QT interval in type 2 diabetic patients and their relationship with clinical and metabolic variables. Methods: This work was done on 110 patients with type 2 DM (56 females; 54 males) in the age range of >30 years, with various duration of disease. All the 110 patients analysed by taking Standard 12- leaded electrocardiograms After calculating QT interval, we found out QTc by usin -Bazett 1920 QTc = QT/ √ RR interval. Results: QTc was prolonged (64%) in both male &female patient. In female RR is decreased while , QTc, QTcMin duration is found to be increased. Patients with increased QTc duration having lower age(p=0.0457), & higher pulse rate(p
