• Lower response to the antiaggreganting agents

• Greater incidence of the “No reflow” phenomenon

• Comorbidities

• Less aggressive treatment strategies in diabetic patients

UKPDS Trial

Diabetes and ACS: “dangerous liasons”

• 65% of Diabetic Patients dies following cardiovascular events

• 37% of ACS Patients is diabetic

Diabetics with NSTEMI/UA, outcome is similar to non-diabetic

patients with STEMI

• Future risk cardiovascular events:

Diabetic Patients = non-diabetic patients with previous MI

Conclusions

The bitter fate of acute coronary syndrome in

diabetics: diabetics have more adverse

outcomes after PCI
