Important differences in the types and frequency of Diabetes mellitus and its complications have been reported between countries as well as ethnic and cultural groups.

In the present study fifty four type 2 diabetes patients who were normotensive and with no symptoms of cardiac disease, were selected for during the study . All patients were evaluated for left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction by echocardiography. In the present study the E/A ratio <1 was seen in 22 (40.7%) of 54 individuals in the Study Group and 3 (5.5%) among the Control Group. The p value <0.001 and is statistically significant. Thus, 22 individuals in Study Group and 3 in Control Group had diastolic dysfunction.
