Aim: An ultrasonographic assessment of fatty liver and cardiovascular disorders in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Material and Methods: 100Patients having been diagnosed as type 2 diabetic and Liver USG scan showing fatty changes (USG was done in patients of diabetes as a routine investigation) were included in this study. Results: We have found most of the cases of fatty liver (30%) were in the age group of 50-60 years. There were 4% cases with fatty liver above 80 years age. Among the fatty liver cases 50% were males and 50% were females. 6% of patients did not show any left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. 47% showed type 1, 44% showed type 2, 9% showed type 3 diastolic dysfunction. Type 3 LVDD was found mostly (10%) in cases with duration of diagnosis >10 years group. 29% subjects showed ischemic changes in their ECG. In the >10 years duration group 8% cases presented with ischemic changes in ECG. Statistical significance not found. Conclusion: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction found to be the prime echocardiographic abnormality in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
