Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction in Diabetic Patients After Myocardial Infarction: Prognostic Role of the Valsalva Maneuver.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including acute myocardial infarction (MI), and is frequently associated with cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN). Post-MI autonomic dysfunction contributes to adverse outcomes, but data on prognostic markers in diabetic patients remain limited. This study aimed to (1) compare autonomic nervous system (ANS) function between patients with MI and DM (MI/DM), MI without DM, and DM without MI; (2) assess differences in MI/DM patients based on survival status; and (3) identify prognostic factors for all-cause mortality in diabetic patients following MI. Materials and Methods: This retrospective-prospective study included 375 patients: 93 MI/DM, 229 MI, and 53 DM. MI patients
