Key result
Diabetes with myocardial infarction significantly increases morbidity and mortality in developing nations due to care barriers.
Why the study?
The dual burden of diabetes and myocardial infarction significantly increases morbidity and mortality, particularly in LMICs where access to care, medications, and diagnostics is limited.

Highlights the critical need for scalable interventions, digital health solutions, and improved healthcare infrastructure to manage the growing dual burden of diabetes and MI in resource-constrained settings.
Background and Aim The dual burden of diabetes and myocardial infarction (MI) significantly increases morbidity and mortality, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). This study evaluates current treatment strategies, emphasizing the impact of limited access to medications, diagnostics, and specialized care. It proposes adaptable solutions tailored to resource‐constrained settings. Method For this review study, we investigated many databases—including PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library—using different relevant terms. Discussion Low public awareness and healthcare limitations often delay diagnosis and treatment, leading to poor outcomes. While comprehensive care, including medication, lifestyle modification, and education, is ideal, it remains out of reach for many LMICs due to systemic barriers. Conclusion Improving chronic disease outcomes in LMICs requires targeted investment in healthcare infrastructure, patient education, and scalable interventions. Community‐based care, digital tools, and task‐shifting models show strong potential for enhancing disease management.

Rafi et al. (2025) conducted a review in Diabetes and Myocardial Infarction. Diabetes and myocardial infarction was evaluated. The dual burden of diabetes and myocardial infarction significantly increases morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries due to systemic healthcare barriers and limited access to care.
