ABSTRACT
Background: Mortality and morbidity is higher among the patients with high blood sugar level and high blood pressure. Understanding the association with the stroke patients will give a clue to decrease the mortality and morbidity.
Aims and Objective: to study the effects of higher blood pressure and blood sugar levels in patients with stroke.
Materials and Methods: Ninety subject were studied in the Department of General Medicine at Sri Aurobindo Medical College and PGI, Indore (M. P.) for one and half year from June-2015 to March-2016 after dividing them in to Cases (n=45; patients with stroke) and Control (n=45; subjects without stroke). Both systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure and fasting and post prandial blood sugar levels were measured for all the subjects.
Results: Mean fasting blood sugar of cases (83.98±8.68 mmol/L) was little lower than control (87.02±7.32 mmol/L (p>0.05). Mean post prandial blood sugar of cases (122.29±46.37 mmol/L) found to be raised than control (101.93±10.29 mmol/L) (p<0.005).Mean systolic blood pressure (126.00±18.27 mmHg) found to be raised when compared to (118.00±10.36 mmHg) controls (p<0.02). Mean diastolic blood pressure of cases (81.11±11.33 mmHg) was little higher than control (79.56±7.06 mmHg) (p>0.05).
Conclusion: We found a significant association of systolic blood pressure among stroke patients however, present study failed to make any significant association of hyperglycemias with stoke.
