TI  - Implications of diabetes mellitus in patients with STEMI: data from Thai ACS 
      Registry.
PG  - 12-20
AB  - BACKGROUND: Data exist on the community-based perspective on the relation of 
      diabetes mellitus (DM) and acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) 
      worldwide but no data is available in Thailand. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The Thai 
      Acute Coronary Syndrome Registry (TACSR) is an observational study of patients 
      hospitalized with ACS at 17 hospitals in different regions of Thailand. The 
      present sub-study sample consisted of 3,725 patients with STEMI in a 3-year 
      period. RESULTS: Nearly 40% (37.15%) of them had DM who were older predominantly 
      women, with a greater prevalence of co-morbidities and fewer current smokers. 
      Patients with DM who developed STEMI were at increased risk for heart failure, 
      arrhythmia, bleeding and death. These differences remained after adjustment for 
      potential confounding prognostic factors. CONCLUSION: A considerable proportion 
      of patients with STEMI have DM. This proportion is higher than any other studies 
      published. Diabetic patients who developed STEMI are also at increased risk for 
      adverse outcomes including, heart failure, arrhythmia, bleeding and death 
      compared to patients without DM.
