“…The mean LVIDd and LVIDs were found 6.5 ±0.5 and 5.2±0.5 respectively which were similar to previous study 29 .On echo-color Doppler study 59% patients had mitral regurgitation (MR) grade-l, 20% MR grade-ll, 14% MR grade-lll and 7% had no MR. Previous study 29,32 related to ischemic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy also showed similar pictures. We, the physicians have to take challenge to manage these patients daily.…”

“…Sonowal et al 11 in their study on idiopathic DCM showed that most of the patients presented with dyspnea (70.97%) followed by palpitation (64.52%) and Fowler et al 12 found that dyspnea (89%), dependent edema (89%) were the most common presenting symptom, which are similar to our study. Banerjee et al 10 in their study observed that most common symptoms were dyspnea (86%) and cough (75%) though we got cough as presenting symptom in only 20% cases. These clinical findings e.g.…”

“…Sonowal et al 11 in their study found that 61.29% were male and 38.71% were female showing male female ratio to be 1.6:1. However, male-female ratio was reported to be higher (4:1) by Kuhn et al 13 and 2.33:1by Banerjee et al 10 In this study 45(90.0%) patients had dyspnea, 43(86.0%) fatigability, 39(78.0%) swelling of legs, 35(70.0%) PND, 34(68%) orthopnoea, 30(60%) palpitation, 24(48.0%) angina, 18(36.0%) abdominal pain, 10(20.0%) cough, and 4(8%) was found asymptomatic.

“…CM, in advanced countries contributes up to 40% of the proportion of total patients with HF (4). Banerjee et al reports HF in 75% patients and death during hospital stay in 8% patient with CM (5). HF causes decline in quality of life (6) with an observed 5-year survival of 26-52% (7) and thus it is labeled as more malignant that cancer (8).…”
