In this study of 1,373 nondiabetic and 1,059 diabetic subjects, the 7-year incidence of fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) was examined to determine whether patients with diabetes who have not had MIs should be treated as aggressively for cardiovascular (CV) risk factors as patients who have had MIs. In both diabetic and non-diabetic subjects, a history of MI at baseline was significantly associated with an increased incidence of MI during 7 years of follow-up. Further, a history of MI at baseline was also associated with an increased incidence of stroke and death from CV causes. Reference: Haffner SM, Lehto S, Ronnemaa T, Pyorala K, Laakso M.
