Why the study?

Does diabetes mellitus worsen left ventricular regional function of the noninfarcted area in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction?

Population

55 patients with acute Q wave anterior myocardial infarction (MI)

Comparison

Diabetes mellitus (exposure) vs No diabetes mellitus

Design

Cohort

Implication

Diabetes may worsen noninfarct regional LV function post-anterior MI; hypothesis-generating for targeted interventions.

Structured PICO

Does diabetes mellitus worsen left ventricular regional function of the noninfarcted area in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction?

Population

55 patients with acute Q wave anterior myocardial infarction (MI)

Intervention

Diabetes mellitus (exposure)

Comparator

No diabetes mellitus

Outcome

Left ventricular regional function of the noninfarcted area (measured by regional ejection fraction via radionuclide angiocardiography)surrogate

Diabetes mellitus is an independent predictor of regional left ventricular dysfunction in the noninfarcted area following acute anterior myocardial infarction.
