3-year mortality after acute myocardial infarction in patients with different diabetic status.
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) is estimated at about 25%. Short- and long-term prognosis is worse in patients with DM and hyperglycemia compared with nondiabetics. ⋯ T1DM and T2DM are associated with elevated in-hospital and long-term mortality rates after MI. Diabetics and patients with transient hyperglycemia are more likely to develop significant in-hospital complications compared with nondiabetics. No significant differences regarding acute mechanical complications were noted between populations.
