Comparison of left ventricular systolic function between diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in non-ST- elevated myocardial infarction by 2D and speckle tracking echocardiography

Abstract

Background: NSTEMI is a primary reason for mortality and morbidity globally. This work was aimed at comparing LV systolic function utilizing 2D and speckle tracking echocardiography among diabetics and non-diabetics going through percutaneous intervention in NSTEMI. Methods: Our prospective randomized clinical study involved 100 individuals with acute NSTEMI clinical criteria going through PCI. Participants went through a categorization into two equal groups: Group 1: Diabetic patients. Group 2: Non-diabetic patients. All patients were subjected to Electrocardiogram, Echocardiography and Primary PCI. Evaluating Left ventricular systolic function was done by 2D and speckle tracking Echocardiography. Results: Ejection fraction (EF) was significantly improved after 3 months compared to EF on admission within all groups (p
