Comparative Effect of Statin Intensity Between Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus After Implanting Newer-generation Drug-eluting Stents in Korean Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients: a Retrospective Observational Study
Abstract:Background: Comparative studies regarding the long-term clinical outcomes of statin intensity between acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with prediabetes and those with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), after successful implantation of newer-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) with statin treatment, are limited. We compared the 2-year clinical outcomes between these patients. Methods: A total of 11612 AMI patients were classified as statin users (n = 9893) and non-users (n = 1719). Thereafter, statin u… Show more
