Abstract :

Diabetic patients are more prone to develop different types of heart disease. The most important of these are Cardiomyopathy , Ischaemic Heart Disease and , Autonomic neuropathy . This study is done to evaluate the cardiac status in asymptomatic Type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients. This Cross sectional study was conducted in MGM Govt.Hospital Trichy, comprising 100 asymptomatic type 2 Diabetic patients. LV diastolic dysfunction is commonly seen among asymptomatic type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and it can be present even before the onset of symptoms and ECG changes. Its incidence is higher than previously suspected. Usually diastolic dysfunction preceeds systolic dysfunction .
