Abstract :

Aims & Objectives: 1. To see whether patients with type II DM with cardiac symptoms have abnormal ECG pattern. 2. To see whether ECG findings correlate with coronary angiography findings. Material & methods: 101 patients were selected who had type II DM with cardiac symptoms. All were subjected to 12 lead ECG and also coronary angiography. Reports of ECG and CAG were compared and conclusions were drawn. Study period Nov. 2013 to Oct. 2015. Results: Out of 101 patients, 31 had AWMI, 14 had IWMI & 2 had LWMI. Rest of them had either ischemic ECG pattern or non–specific ECG changes. Only 3 patients had normal ECG findings. Out of the total 47 infarcted patients only 20 had SVD, while others had either DVD or TVD. Conclusion: CAG findings when compared to surface ECG findings showed advanced CAD, which extended beyond the ischemic/infarcted artery zone.
