May support enhanced post-MI surveillance in T2DM; extends observational data to Chinese cohorts without establishing causality.

Does type 2 diabetes mellitus increase the risk of recurrent myocardial infarction and all-cause death in Chinese patients with previous myocardial infarction?
Hazard Ratio: 1.72 (95% CI 1.23–2.4)
Absolute Event Rate: 99.8% vs 49.9%
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is an independent risk factor for recurrent myocardial infarction and all-cause death in Chinese patients with a history of myocardial infarction.
Li et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Previous myocardial infarction (n=864). Type 2 diabetes mellitus vs. Without type 2 diabetes mellitus was evaluated on Composite end point (recurrent myocardial infarction or all-cause death) (HR 1.72, 95% CI 1.23-2.40). Type 2 diabetes mellitus increased the risk of the composite of recurrent myocardial infarction or all-cause death among patients with previous myocardial infarction (HR 1.72; 95% CI 1.23-2.40).
