Hi,

Thanks for your query,

The history of anterior wall MI in a diabetic with tripathy give me a undoubted poor prognosis as he has developed respiratory problems.

I can little more specific if you can provide me with his latest echocardiography reports ( if done ) and also values of his other vital parameters like BP, Pulse rate, respiratory rate, Oxygen saturation and recent Blood sugar levels of HBA1c levels.

Will wait for the information.
