Multicenter StudyInfluence of an antidiabetic treatment with sulfonylurea drugs on long-term survival after acute myocardial infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes. The LAngendreer Myocardial infarction and Blood glucose in Diabetic patients Assessment (LAMBDA).
Patients with type 2 diabetes show a significantly higher mortality after acute myocardial infarction than non-diabetic patients. The influence of sulfonylureas on the survival after acute myocardial infarction is still under debate. ⋯ An antidiabetic treatment with sulfonylurea-drugs prior to acute myocardial infarction does not have negative effects on the long-term survival. Larger prospective studies will be necessary to finally clarify this question.
