Key result
Diabetes mellitus increases acute coronary event risk to match prior myocardial infarction, with left ventricular failure driving the excess mortality in diabetic patients.
This review highlights that left ventricular failure is a major contributor to excess mortality in diabetic patients with myocardial infarction and discusses management strategies.
May warrant closer post-MI LV failure surveillance in diabetes; leaves open optimal interventions for prospective validation.
iabetes mellitus increases the risk of acute coronary events and is similar to that of people without diabetes who have experienced a myocardial infarction (MI). Left ventricular failure is a major contributor to the excess mortality observed in diabetic MI. This review explores this excess risk and considers strategies for its prevention and treatment.
