Hi,

Weak heart in a diabetic patient generally relates to underlying blockage in vessels of the heart. She could be having abnormal Kidney and Liver function tests which your doctor was telling you.

So I will recommend you to first get all basic tests done like CBC(complete blood count), KFT(kidney function test), LFT(liver function test), repeat the 2D Echo.

Once she is stabilized and her kidney function test return back to normal she will need a coronary angiography to rule out the blockage in vessels of the heart.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Sameer Maheshwari, Cardiologist
