Abstract

Introduction: The association of coronary heart disease and DM is well known, but epidemiologic and clinical data from the last 2 decades reveal heart failure also to be a major contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with DM and also develop congestive heart failure even in the absence of coronary heart diseases, hypertension or any known structural heart disease.

Relevant investigations were carried out and recorded. Results: The chest X-ray of patients, 4(4.4%) showed COPD, 7(7.8%) showed pneumonia and rest all patients had normal chest X-ray.
