Relación del síndrome metabólico e insuficiencia cardiaca en los pacientes que presentan diabetes mellitus tipo 2 en el Hospital General Monte Sinaí en el periodo septiembre 2018 a noviembre 2019.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus consists of a pathology where glucose metabolism is affected as the main point, indistinctly from the point of the process where it is affected, which has a multifactorial etiology. It has been determined that each 1% increase in glycosylated Hb was associated with an increased risk of heart failure. A Glycosylated Hemoglobin above 10%, an increase of approximately 60% of cases that develop heart failure is observed. Methodology: A non-experimental, cross-sectional research work was carried out with a descriptive analysis of the data obtained by means of a retrospective approach. It was carried out under a sample of 200 patients, who were admitted to hospital under the diagnosis code CIE-10 E119, in a database provided by the Department of Statistics of the Hospital General Monte Sinai. Results: Of the patients who made up the sample, 100% had Metabolic Syndrome criteria (p<0.005). Of the cases, 58.50% were diagnosed with Heart Failure, while 55.50% had an Ejection Fraction less than 70% (p<0.05). Regarding epidemiology, 60.50% were male patients and 68.50% were older than 50 years. Conclusions: We conclude that age over 50 years and male sex are risk factors of considerable importance in the development of these pathologies. Heart failure is a concomitant disease of high prevalence in relation to a history of diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. The assessment of ventricular ejection fraction and the measurement of cardiovascular symptoms are directly related to the diagnosis of heart failure in patients with diabetes mellitus.
