Medizinische Welt, 46(6), 326-329.0025-8512https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/16270We have studied 40 patients with diabetes mellitus (mean age 62 + 8) and 45 patients without (mean age 53 + 9). All the patients were consecutively admitted to our coronary care unit with myocardial infarction. We have observed a higher incidence of heart failure (20% vs 13%), atrial fibrillation (17% vs 11%), postinfarction angina (23% vs 13%), and conduction abnormalities among diabetics. In our patients the higher mortality among diabetics is associated with cardiogenic shock and left ventricular failure. We concluded that the poorer outcome among diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction could be related to an underlying cardiac dysfunction of diabetics in addition to coronary artery disease.itinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMyocardial InfarctionDiabetes MellitusArticle466326329WOS:A1995RG86400008N/A
