Intense metabolic control by means of insulin in patients with diabetes mellitus and acute myocardial infarction (DIGAMI 2): effects on mortality and morbidity

Abstract: DIGAMI 2 did not support the fact that an acutely introduced, long-term insulin treatment improves survival in type 2 diabetic patients following myocardial infarction when compared with a conventional management at similar levels of glucose control or that insulin-based treatment lowers the number of non-fatal myocardial reinfarctions and strokes. However, an epidemiological analysis confirms that the glucose level is a strong, independent predictor of long-term mortality in this patient category, underlining… Show more

“…Cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities were highest in ITDM group, which may have accounted, at least in part, for their high mortality rates. Furthermore, studies of insulin titration to blood glucose in patients presenting with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction have yielded equivocal results and the optimal management of raised blood glucose in the setting of ACS or stable CAD remains contentious 30, 31, 32. In fact, previous authors have shown that insulin use may increase the risk of mortality 33.…”

“…Central abdominal obesity (BMI >30 kg/m 2 ) 17 which forms a major parameter of the 'pre-diabetes' metabolic syndrome is associated with insulin resistance 18 [44]. Obesity was prevalent in over 23% of patients in insulin-related ACS trials, implying that metabolic 19 syndrome and therefore insulin resistance was also present [22,32,23]. In fact, a recent study identified that 20 insulin resistance in non-diabetics was diagnosed in 60-70% of their STEMI cohort [45].…”

“…Смертнiсть протягом першого року пiсля перенесеного IМ у хворих на ЦД 2 типу складає 15-34 %, сягаючи 45 % у на-ступнi 5 рокiв, що удвiчi вище, нiж у загаль-нiй популяцiї. Незважаючи на значнi дося-гнення в лiкуваннi IХС та її наслiдкiв, хворi з ЦД 2 типу залишаються найбiльш вразли-вою групою, оскiльки зменшення смертностi серед них незначне [7].Такi невтiшнi прогнози щодо пацiєнтiв iз ЦД 2 типу пов'язують насамперед iз при-скореним розвитком атеросклерозу великих субепiкардiальних судин та його швидким прогресуванням [3]. Результати проведених дослiджень показали, що при ЦД атеро-склеротичнi бляшки мiстять бiльше жиру, в бiльшому ступенi запальнозмiненi i де-монструють вищий ризик тромбоутворення, нiж у осiб без ЦД [8].…”
