UNLABELLED The diabetic patients represent a population with a high risk of morbidity and mortality because of vascular complications. Out of them, all the patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction have a more reserved prognostic than those without diabetes mellitus. Moreover, the patients with impaired glucose tolerance have a more severe evolution in case of a myocardial infarcti...

BACKGROUND Previous studies reveal major differences in the estimated cardiovascular risk in diabetes mellitus, including uncertainty about the risk in young patients. Therefore, large studies of well-defined populations are needed. METHODS AND RESULTS All residents in Denmark > or = 30 years of age were followed up for 5 years (1997 to 2002) by individual-level linkage of nationwide register...

AIMS 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 T...

AIMS To investigate the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in patients with acute myocardial infarction and to determine whether casual blood glucose and haemoglobin A1c measured at admission could be used to diagnose diabetes mellitus. METHODS AND RESULTS A prospective study that included all patients with acute myocardial infarction hospitalized during a one-year period at a coronary care unit...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus and admission blood glucose are important risk factors for mortality in ST segment elevation myocardial infarction patients, but their relative and individual role remains on debate. OBJECTIVE To analyze the influence of diabetes mellitus and admission blood glucose on the mortality of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction patients submitted to primary corona...

Background: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI ) are common types of acute coronary syndrome which are associated with the risk factors of age, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. Objective: The present study aimed to examine the effects of age on the risk factors and clinical sym...
