Key result
Diabetes mellitus had an accelerating impact on mortality during up to 10 years of follow-up after an acute myocardial infarction.
Why the study?
Does diabetes mellitus increase the risk of death in patients following an acute myocardial infarction over long-term follow-up?

Does diabetes mellitus increase the risk of death in patients following an acute myocardial infarction over long-term follow-up?
This study investigates the time-related changes in mortality risk associated with diabetes over long-term follow-up after an acute myocardial infarction.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports extended post-MI monitoring in diabetes; extends time-dependent risk observations but remains hypothesis-generating.
The development of risk associated with diabetes mellitus during long-term follow-up after a myocardial infarction has not been studied in detail. We have studied time-related changes of risk of death during 10 years of follow-up in a cohort of patients not treated with thrombolytic therapy (the Glostrup cohort) and during 6 years in a cohort receiving such treatment in 40% of cases (the TRACE cohort).

Thomas Melchior (1999) conducted a cohort in Acute myocardial infarction. Diabetes mellitus was evaluated on Risk of death. Diabetes mellitus had an accelerating impact on mortality during up to 10 years of follow-up after an acute myocardial infarction.
