Impact of Diabetes on Coronary Angiographic Findings in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients: A Comparative Study
STEMI patients with diabetes demonstrate more severe, diffuse, and calcified CAD compared to non-diabetics, even after adjusting for confounders. These findings underscore the need for early, aggressive cardiovascular risk management and tailored interventional strategies in diabetic STEMI populations. Ethical approval was obtained (Ref: 757/CD/HMC/2022), and all patients provided informed consent.
