I
Intervention
Anterior site of myocardial infarction and/or diabetic status
C
Comparator
Other infarction sites and/or nondiabetic status

Outcome
Mortality at 60 days and 12 yearshard clinical
Anterior MI site and diabetes synergistically increase the risk of early (60-day) post-infarct mortality.
