Key result
Insulin resistance was associated with electrocardiographic changes in non-obese hypertensive Asian Indian subjects, who had a 43% higher serum insulin response than those without ECG changes.
Why the study?
Is insulin resistance associated with electrocardiographic changes in non-obese, non-diabetic Asian Indian subjects with hypertension?
Cross-Sectional (n=64)
Is insulin resistance associated with electrocardiographic changes in non-obese, non-diabetic Asian Indian subjects with hypertension?
In non-obese, non-diabetic Asian Indian hypertensive subjects, electrocardiographic abnormalities are strongly associated with hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance.

May prompt IR assessment in non-obese hypertensives with ECG changes; hypothesis-generating for ethnic-specific links.
Marita et al. (1998) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=64). Insulin resistance vs. Normal insulin sensitivity was evaluated on Electrocardiographic changes. Insulin resistance was associated with electrocardiographic changes in non-obese hypertensive Asian Indian subjects, who had a 43% higher serum insulin response than those without ECG changes.
