Abstract
Diabetes remains an independent risk factor for adverse remodeling following acute myocardial infarction even with quantification of total infarct size and change in myocardial extracellular volume fraction by CMR Bobby Heydari, Ravi Shah, Siddique Abbasi, Jiazuo H Feng, Hoshang Farhad, Tomas G Neilan, Ron Blankstein, Rob J van der Geest, Shuaib Abdullah, Sanjeev Francis, Udo Hoffmann, Michael Jerosch-Herold, Raymond Y Kwong
Highlights
Diabetes (DM) has important implications on LV remodeling and prognosis following acute myocardial infarction (MI)
We explored the impact of diabetic heart disease independent of traditional risk factors, infarct size, and myocardial extracellular volume fraction (MECVF)
Unadjusted analysis of clinical and CMR characteristics, including change in mean segmental fibrotic index, revealed that only history of diabetes mellitus (DM) was associated with adverse remodeling (LR c2 = 4.6)
