Summary
Pulmonary tuberculosis is prevalent and stays as one of the leading cause of death. The cause of the death in most of the terminally ill pulmonary tuberculosis patient is Cor Pulmonale and related cardiac problem. In the rural areas poverty and malnutrition lead to increased incidence and prevalence of tuberculosis. In the urban areas exposure to the automobile gases and dust particles predisposes patients to pulmonary diseases and COPD in later life [2, 3]. The development and implementation of the national programs for the detection and treatment of the tuberculosis is trying to treat the disease in the early stage itself to prevent such cor pulmonale in future. In this study we are going to find easy solution to diagnose the lung disease related cardiac problem in the early stages [4]
