Diabetes mellitus had an accelerating impact on mortality during up to 10 years of follow-up after an acute myocardial infarction.
Cohort
Does diabetes mellitus increase the risk of death in patients following an acute myocardial infarction over long-term follow-up?
This study investigates the time-related changes in mortality risk associated with diabetes over long-term follow-up after an acute myocardial infarction.
The development of risk associated with diabetes mellitus during long-term follow-up after a myocardial infarction has not been studied in detail. We have studied time-related changes of risk of death during 10 years of follow-up in a cohort of patients not treated with thrombolytic therapy (the Glostrup cohort) and during 6 years in a cohort receiving such treatment in 40% of cases (the TRACE cohort).
