Implication

Diabetics with AMI face high immediate and 5-year mortality; leaves open whether modern therapies modify prognosis in observational data.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate mortality and five-year survival rates among diabetic patients experiencing acute myocardial infarction.
Analyzed data from 258 hospitalized diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction at the Joslin Clinic from 1954 to 1958.
Included analysis of immediate mortality and five-year survival outcomes post-attack.
Compared findings with previous studies focused on diabetic patients and the general population.
Immediate mortality rates were assessed, with differences noted across various prognostic factors.
Five-year survival rates were determined, contributing to understanding long-term outcomes in this population.
