Correlation of Serum Magnesium With hsCRP in Diabetic Patients With Ischemic Heart Disease: A Causative Factor for Progression Of Ischemic Heart Disease in Diabetic

Abstract

Objective: To find out the correlation of serum magnesium with hsCRP in diabetic patients with
ischemic heart disease.
Methods: This study was carried out at Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore from August 2016 to
October 2016. A total of 200 cases were included in the study after satisfying the exclusion and
inclusion criteria. Subjects were divided into groups as A (patients of Diabetes Mellitus type 2),
group B (patients of first MI), group C (patients of first MI with Diabetes Mellitus type 2) and group
D (controls). Each group contained 50 subjects.
Results: Level of serum magnesium was significant decreased and level of hsCRP was
significantly raised in both individuals with diabetes mellitus and ischemic heart disease
compared to controls.
Conclusions: It is concluded that low level of serum magnesium and increased level of
hsCRPin patients with diabetes may increased the risk of ischemic heart disease.
