Abstract
Saint triad consists of colonic diverticulosis, gall stone and hiatus hernia. But there are reports of colonic diverticulosis with cardiomyopathy. This is a case report of Saint Triad with dilated cardiomyopathy and duodenal diverticulosis. So all patients who fall under Saint Triad have to undergo upper gastro intestinal endoscopy to identify duodenal diverticulum apart from hiatus hernia and echo cardiography to identify cardiomyopathy as a part of screening.
