Short-term mortality gains in diabetic AMI patients were not sustained at 18 months; leaves open whether targeted long-term diabetes strategies improve outcomes.
Does contemporary management (2003 vs 1995) improve short- and long-term mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus suffering acute myocardial infarction?
Despite improvements in early post-AMI survival, long-term mortality for patients with diabetes did not improve between 1995 and 2003, highlighting the need for better post-AMI diabetes management.
Cubbon et al. (2006) studied this question.
