Risk of MI in Diabetes Haffner, SM et al NEJM: 339: 229-234
{"Image DocumentName": "Risk of MI in Diabetes Haffner, SM et al NEJM: 339:", "Image ImageDescription": "This data here shows the marked increase in the risk of myocardial infarction in type 2 diabetes. This data is from a Finnish study which compared the incidence of first MI in Non-diabetics to those with type 2 diabetes. Important points from this data include the fact that in diabetics with no history of MI have a similar incidence of MI when compared to patients who are non-diabetic and have had an MI. Note also that diabetics who have had an MI, have more than a 2 fold increase in risk of another MI compared to non-diabetics with a history of MI over 7 years of follow-up. Also, diabetics with MI have an approximately 9 fold increase in risk than patients without diabetes and have not had an MI. This data supports current recommendations to treat diabetic patients as though they have established CAD when considering risk factor reduction.
