Abstract

Acute myocardial infarction can be considered as a potential epidemic for mankind (WHO 1982). Diabetes mellitus is one of the 6 primary risk factors identified for myocardial infarction. The aim of our study was to correlate the incidence of complications with diabetes by using ST segment resolution as a tool, thereby re-enforcing the role of incomplete ST resolution as a marker of worse clinical outcome in cases of diabetes with ST-elevated myocardial
infarction in our population.
