Combined risk estimates of diabetes and coronary angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance in patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) increase the risk of adverse cardiac events in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). This study aimed to evaluate the combined risk estimates of DM and CMD, assessed by the angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (angio-IMR), in patients with NSTEMI.

Methods

A total of 2212 patients with NSTEMI who underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were retrospectively enrolled from three centers. The primary outcome was a composite of cardiac death or readmission for heart failure at a 2-year follow-up.

Results

Post-PCI angio-IMR did not significantly differ between the DM group and the non-DM group (20.13 [17.91-22.70] vs. 20.19
