Type 2 & other diabetes

A sex-disaggregated analysis of the prognostic value of lean type 2 diabetes mellitus in the adult population with acute myocardial infarction

Cardiovasc DiabetolPublished Cohort study

Authors' conclusion

The lean T2DM phenotype was present in one-quarter of the AMI cohort with T2DM. The lean T2DM phenotype was an independent predictor of long-term mortality following AMI, although this association was stronger in males than in females.
