ABSTRACT
Introduction: in people with diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart disease shows morbidity and mortality 2-4 times higher than that observed in the general population.Objective: to describe the clinical characteristics of patients with diabetes mellitus complicated by ischemic heart disease.
Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in 459 patients with diabetes mellitus, treated at the Endocrinology and Cardiology services of the "Carlos Manuel de Céspedes" Provincial General Hospital of the Bayamo municipality, Granma province, since January 1, 2015. until December 31, 2020. Statisticians: Chi Square and Student's T.
Results: the frequency of arterial hypertension (0.0000), left ventricular hypertrophy (0.0000), smoking (0.0128) and other vascular complications of diabetes was higher in patients with ischemic heart disease than in those without have this complication. Likewise, the cases with ischemic heart disease exhibited an age (0.0000), a time of DM (0.0000) and levels of HA1c (0.0002), cholesterol (0.0266), triglycerides (0.0432), ratio cholesterol/HDL (0.0001), microalbuminuria (0.0000) and uric acid (0.0000), significantly higher than those without ischemic heart disease.
Conclusions: patients with diabetes complicated by ischemic heart disease have a higher frequency of cardiovascular risk factors than those without this complication. Other research is necessary to determine the role of these factors in the development of the disease.
