How Diabetes Makes Heart Attacks 1 ½ Times More Deadly

Because of advances in medical care, a heart attack is now more survivable than ever before.

But if you experience a heart attack while also fighting type 2 diabetes, your chance of surviving the attack is much smaller, up to years later.

So why does this happen and what can you do about it if you already have type 2 diabetes?

British scientists published an article in the June 2016 edition of the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health that proved that a heart attack is much deadlier in diabetics than in nondiabetics.

They used the UK acute myocardial infarction registry to identify 281,259 patients who had suffered ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), when your coronary artery is completely blocked. And 422,661 who had suffered non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), when your coronary artery is only halfway blocked.

Overall, around 121,000 of the study subjects also had diabetes.

The results?

• Diabetics who suffered a heart attack caused by a completely blocked coronary artery had a 56 percent greater chance of death in subsequent years than their non-diabetic peers who suffered a similar attack.

• Diabetics who suffered a heart attack caused by a partially blocked coronary artery were 39 percent more likely to die in subsequent years than nondiabetics after the same attack.

This shows just how important it is to tackle type 2 diabetes before it causes irreversible damage.
