Abstract
Background: Cardiomyopathies represent a heterogeneous group of diseases that often lead to progressive heart failure
with significant morbidity and mortality. The improved recognition or of other factor, the incidence and prevalence of
heart failure due to cardiomyopathy appears to be increasing. Aims & Objectives: To study the prevalence, clinical profile
and outcome of patients with cardiomyopathies and to study the echocardiographic profile. Material & methods: It is
retrospective observational study of 65 patients, with age >15 years and admitted in medical ICU and ward of KIMSU,
karad. This study was conducted over period of one year. All eligible subjects underwent relevant investigations including
echocardiogram, Doppler study, electrocardiogram, chest radiogram and coronary angiogram. Proforma included age
