Abstract

Aim: To assess cardiovascular risk in spinal cord injury (SCI) by screening IGT and dyslipidemia. Purpose: With advances in acute care and management of septicemia, renal failure, pneumonia, and Cardiovascular complication is the leading cause of death in SCI. Physical inactivity, increased abdominal fat promotes insulin resistance and dyslipidemia promoting cardio vascular morbidity. Methodology: The sample size of 100 is considered with inclusion and exclusion criteria defined for SCI cases Parameters considered are (a) Fasting lipid profile, (b) HbA1C, (c) OGTT. Results: Based on the analysis, patients had hypo as well as hyperglycemia in addition to dyslipidemia. Conclusion: Metabolic abnormalities act as a multiplier effect for increasing the CV risk.
