ABSTRACT
Background: Osteoporosis is a systemic disorder causing bone fragility and fractures, affecting over 200 million people worldwide. It's primarily caused by postmenopausal estrogen loss and secondary by factors like acromegaly, adrenal atrophy, hyperparathyroidism, and drug use. Common etiologic factors include diabetes, smoking, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and estrogen deficiency. Aims: To study the Relationship between heart failure and osteoporosis and the association between heart failure & fracture risk in the osteoporotic patient. Methods: We collected around 100 patients from the rheumatology outpatient and sent them for the DEXA study in the same hospital. The investigations of these patients were done for Ca, vit. D, Echo, S. Cholesterol, FBS & RFT. The patients were separated into two groups; Control group: persons without heart failure and have DEXA collected from the DEXA unit and Patients group: patient with heart failure sends for DEXA. Results: In studying the personal characteristic and medical problems and comparing two groups, the P-value is between (0.06-1.000), so there is no significant difference. Also, by studying the Relationship between heart failure and osteoporosis, P-value is no significant difference (0.680). We also compared the osteoporotic heart failure and non-osteoporotic heart failure regarding diastolic function, the P-value (0.475), so there is no significant difference. Also, regarding biochemical parameters, we compare between patient and control groups and between osteoporotic heart failure and non-osteoporotic heart failure; in general, there is no significant difference because P-value is between (0.06-0.1). Conclusion: We conclude that There is no relationship between heart failure and osteoporosis, and just they are sharing some risk factors.
