OK do you have to have just one?

Dereased cardiac output r/t decreased stroke volume

ineffetive tissue perfusion :cardiac, renal r/t complications of chronic disease process (DM)

Off the top of my head....

Impaired gas exhchange (hypoxia, pulmonary fibrosis)

Risk for fluid imbalance (kidneys)

Decreased cardiac output (HTN)

Definitely not a priority nursing diagnosis, though.
