Abstract:
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common metabolic diseases worldwide. This metabolic disorder contributes greatly to the significant proportion of the burden of cardiovascular problem the aim of the study was to investigate the cardiovascular biomarker of the diabetic patients who reside in United Arab of Emirates, diagnosed as diabetes mellitus type -2.
A cross-sectional study conducted during the period from July 2015 to June 2016 to determine and to evaluate the plasma CRP and Troponin I in Sudanese resides in UAE. a total of100 subjects 97 (97%) of them were males and 3 (3%) were females, 50 Sudanese with type 2 diabetes mellitus were selected as a test group and 50 Sudanese healthy volunteers as a control group, age from 35-70 y mean of age is)48.16 ± 11.2y. Demographic data as well as medical history were obtained through the administration of a questionnaire. . Obtained results were analyzed using soft were SPSS version 16.0.
There was a statistically significant difference between the mean of glucose, Hba1c, CRP and troponin I among the test group when compared with control group. There was a positive correlation between plasma C- reactive protein and serum troponin I levels (r= 0.320, p=0.023), also there was strong positive correlation between plasma levels of Glucose and Hba1c % (r=0.531, p=0.000) and negative correlation between serum glucose levels and troponin level (r=0.059, P=0.63). It was concluded that our results on the parameters measured; show that the diabetic population was experiencing mild increase in CRP and troponin compare to non-diabetic
