Abstract

Background: Subjects with diabetes constitute 13-25% of patients with ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). In spite of the introduction of thrombolytic therapy, patients with STEMI and diabetes continue to have worse prognosis than those without diabetes. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been shown in recent years to be the most effective therapy in patients with STEMI.
Aim: To compare the outcome of STEMI patients with or without diabetes who underwent primary PCI.
Methods: The study group consisted of 500 consecutive patients with STEMI. The occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) which included death, reinfarction or repeated PCI of the target vessel, was analysed peri-operatively and during a six-month follow-up period.
Results: Diabetes was diagnosed in 68 (13.6%) patients. The mean time duration from the onset of STEMI symptoms to treatment was similar in patients with or without diabetes (230±97 min vs 231±139 min, NS). Patients with diabetes were older (61.9±8.9 vs 57.9±10.8 years, p=0.004), had higher body mass index (29±4 vs 27±5, p=0.002), more frequent history of coronary artery disease (57.4% vs 37.9%, p=0.002), higher prevalence of arterial hypertension (71.6% vs 56.8%, p=0.02) and more frequently the left anterior descending artery as the infarct-related artery (58.8% vs 42.1%, p=0.01). Immediately after PCI, epicardial and myocardial reperfusion rates were lower in patients with rather than without diabetes (TIMI 3: 84.9% vs 91.3%, p=NS, cTFC: 32±26 vs 22±16, p
