Abstract

The risk of nonfatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been studied in relation to diabetes and other risk factors, combining data from three Italian case-control studies including 1,737 cases with nonfatal AMI and 2,317 controls in hospital for acute diseases unrelated to AMI risk factors. The multivariate odds ratio (OR) of AMI for diabetes was 2.3 (95% confidence interval, 1.8-2.9); the association with AMI risk was apparently stronger in patients diagnosed with diabetes when aged
