Does diabetes increase the risk of heart failure after acute myocardial infarction?
Does diabetes increase the risk of heart failure after acute myocardial infarction?
Patients with diabetes who experience an acute myocardial infarction have a significantly increased risk of developing heart failure, even when presenting with a normal left ventricular ejection fraction.
May warrant closer post-MI heart failure surveillance in diabetes; extends associations but leaves causality and interventions open.
Heart failure is a common complication after acute myocardial infarction in diabetes, increasing the risk by 50-60% regardless of previous heart failure or MI. This risk is present even with normal reported left ventricular ejection fraction, indicating the existence of a large diabetes population at heart failure risk after acute myocardial infarction.
