A study of blood sugar changes in non-diabetic patients admitted to the Cardiac Care Department, Damascus Hospital.

Abstract

Abstract Background: Diabetes, as it is called (the disease of the age), has taken up large demographic areas, so it is better to treat it than to prevent it. Since measuring blood sugar periodically is one of the easiest methods available that makes us vigilant about the initial changes in blood sugar, especially when there are risk factors; Based on the foregoing, the importance of the research is based on studying the changes in blood sugar values ​​in non-diabetic patients and their predisposition to high blood sugar in the presence of the cardiac factor as a risk factor, as current studies indicate that there are several metabolic and hormonal changes that occur in patients with important heart diseases, and that high blood sugar values Blood in patients with heart disease is significantly associated with higher morbidity and mortality. This study aims to study the relationship between blood sugar values ​​upon discharge from the hospital and the patient's pathological history, serum creatinine values, systolic pressure and pulse of the patient, family history, smoking amount, LDL and CKmb values ​​upon discharge. And studying the relationship between the patient's antecedents and CKmb upon discharge. Methods and materials: Samples were collected in Damascus Hospital (Cardiac Care Department) in Damascus, affiliated to the Syrian Ministry of Health, in the period between (1/1/2020 to 1/1/2022), and the information required for the study was extracted from patients’ files and samples were analyzed by the two students, Redan Zhr Aldine. And Majd Seleem on a daily basis during official working hours, as 260 cases were collected. Results: The sample included 260 patient's male (68.2%) females (30.8%), and the age group (51–60) was the most common in the study, and the percentage of patients with infarction and angina pectoris was 38.5%. The percentage of patients with atrial fibrillation was 23.1%. When studying the relationship between blood glucose values at the moment of hospital discharge and the patient's medical history, blood creatinine values, systolic pressure, pulse, family history, smoking amount, LDL and CKMB values at the moment of discharge and histological history, the p-value was < 0.05. Conclusion: There is a statistically significant relationship between blood glucose values at the moment of discharge from the hospital and the patient's medical history, blood creatinine values, systolic pressure, pulse, patient history, smoking amount, LDL and CKMB values at the moment of discharge and pathological history, and there is no statistically significant relationship between Medical history and CKMB values at the moment of hospital discharge.
