Results: Abnormal E: I ratio was noticed in 31 patients while the 30:15 ratio was found to be abnormal in 42 patients. Postural hypotension was observed in only 8% patients. QTc interval was prolonged in 42% of patients. The prevalence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy was 65%. The association between the presence of autonomic neuropathy and peripheral neuropathy, retinopathy and nephropathy were statistically significant. Conclusion: The prevalence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy was 65%.
