Diabetic NSTEMI patients receive less invasive management than STEMI counterparts; leaves open whether diabetes-specific strategies improve outcomes.

Absolute Event Rate: 75% vs 95.5%
p-value: p=<0.001
Diabetic patients with AMI present more frequently with NSTEMI, though STEMI patients exhibit higher inflammatory and metabolic markers and receive more frequent invasive management.
Dąbek et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Diabetes mellitus and acute myocardial infarction (n=130). NSTEMI vs. STEMI was evaluated on Treatment with invasive methods (p=<0.001). Diabetic patients with NSTEMI were treated with invasive methods less frequently than those with STEMI (75% vs. 95.5%; p<0.001), despite having a higher rate of previous PCI.
