Diabetes mellitus and cardiac problems frequently coexist, posing significant challenges for both generalists and specialists. This article discusses the common cardiac manifestations of diabetes including coronary artery disease, heart failure and arrythmia, outlining specific diagnostic strategies and management in people with diabetes.
