Background: Presence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is responsible for silent myocardial infarction and sudden death in diabetics. Hence recognizing cardiac dysautonomia early, which is asymptomatic will help to delay or arrest its progression.Methods: A cross-sectional study to evaluate the Prevalence of Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy in Type 2 diabetes and correlate it with duration of Diabetes and to investigate the relationship between cardiac autonomic dysfunction and corrected QT interval.Results: In the study population, the prevalence of definite CAN was 8%, 24% and 58% in group A, B and C respectively. The prevalence of definite CAN increases with increase in duration of diabetes. P value <0.001 significant.Conclusions: A significant correlation is present between Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction and QTc prolongation. QTc interval in the ECG can be used to diagnose Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy with a reasonable sensitivity and specificity.

Introduction. Currently, there is no unified treatment algorithm of cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of simvastatin (SIM) and -3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (-3 PUFAs) on blood lipid profile and insulin resistance (IR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and definite cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Materials and methods. The study involved 72 patients with T2DM and definite CAN. Patients were divided into four groups: 1st - received standard hypoglycemic therapy - control (n = 15); 2nd (n = 22) – in addition simvastatin (SIM) 20.0 mg/q.d.; 3rd (n = 18) - in addition 1 capsule/q.d. of the ω-3 PUFAs; 4th (n = 17) - in addition SIM 10.0 mg/q.d and 1 capsule/q.d of the ω-3 PUFAs for three months. The concentration of glucose, glycated hemoglobin A1c, immunoreactive insulin (IRI), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG) in the blood were determined. Homeostasis model assessment IR (HOMA-IR), atherogenic coefficient (AC), TG/LDL-C, TG/TC, TG/LDL-C and TG and glucose index (TyG) were calculated. Results. Prescription of SIM was accompanied by a statistically significant decrease in TC, LDL-C, TG concentrations. In parallel, SIM induced a decrease of AC, TG/HDL-C, increase in HDL-C, and does not affect the IRI, HOMA-IR, TG/LDL-C, TG/TC, TC/LDL-C/HDL-C, TyG. The use of ω-3 PUFAs has contributed to a significant reduction in TG, AC, TG/LDL-C, TG/TC, TG/HDL-C, TyG index, increase in HDL-C, and was not accompanied by changes in IRI content, HOMA-IR, TC, LDL-C, and TC/LDL-C/HDL-C. The combined prescription of SIM and -3 PUFAs was accompanied by more pronounced, statistically significant changes in the blood lipid spectrum, as well as a decrease in the IRI and HOMA-IR. Conclusions. Obtained results justify the appropriateness of combined simvastatin and -3 polyunsaturated fatty acids prescription to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and definite cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Keywords: diabetes mellitus, cardiac autonomic neuropathy, treatment.
