The impact of diabetes mellitus on the outcome of troponin-positive patients with non-obstructive coronary arteries.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes mellitus is a major cardiovascular risk factor for the development of coronary artery disease, but knowledge about the impact of diabetes mellitus on the outcome of patients with myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic impact of diabetes mellitus on in- and out-of-hospital adverse events in troponin-positive patients with non-obstructive coronary arteries.

Methods and results

A total of 373 troponin-positive patients with non-obstructive coronary arteries between 2010 and 2021 at Bergmannsheil University Hospital Bochum were enrolled, including 65 diabetics and 307 nondiabetics. The median follow-up was 6.2 years. The primary study end point was a composite of in-hosp
