Key result
Following a first cardiovascular event, non-White ethnicities had lower rates of subsequent mortality and CVD events compared to White individuals (HRs 0.64-0.98), whereas type 2 diabetes increased risk.
Why the study?
To quantify ethnic differences in the risk of all-cause mortality and CVD events following a first CVD event in people with and without type 2 diabetes.
Do ethnicity and type 2 diabetes status impact the risk of mortality and recurrent cardiovascular events following a first CVD event?

Ethnicity and diabetes may refine post-CVD risk stratification; observational data leave mechanisms and interventions open for prospective validation.

Do ethnicity and type 2 diabetes status impact the risk of mortality and recurrent cardiovascular events following a first CVD event?
Effect estimate: HR 0.64 to 0.79 (for all-cause death in men)
Following a first cardiovascular event, non-White ethnicities have lower mortality and recurrent event rates compared to White individuals, while type 2 diabetes consistently worsens prognosis across all groups.
Remsing et al. (2022) conducted an observational in First cardiovascular disease (CVD) event (n=5,349,271). Non-White ethnicity vs. White ethnicity was evaluated on Fatal and nonfatal second CVD event and all-cause mortality (HR 0.64 to 0.79 (for all-cause death in men)). Following a first cardiovascular event, non-White ethnicities had lower rates of subsequent mortality and CVD events compared to White individuals (HRs 0.64-0.98), whereas type 2 diabetes increased risk.
