Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) is a major source of morbidity and mortality around the world. Ischemic Cardio Myopathy (ICM) is a late consequence of IHD that manifests as dilated cardiomyopathy with decreased cardiac function that is not entirely due to coronary artery occlusion or ischemic injury. To evaluate the clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic profile of patients it needs to present with ischemic cardiomyopathy. In this cross sectional observational study 100 patients of ischemic cardiomyopathy admitted in hospital or visited OPD in NICVD, Dhaka from March’15 to Sept’15 were studied.
