    Abstract

    Background: Diabetes mellitus is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction (MI). Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or primary angioplasty, is the preferred treatment strategy for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the impact of diabetes on the outcomes of primary angioplasty remains a subject of ongoing investigation. Methods:This retrospective cohort study compared the outcomes of primary angioplasty in patients with STEMI, stratified by diabetic status. Patients admitted at the S.S. Narayana Heart Centre, Davanagere, Karnataka between January 2018 and December 2022who underwent primary angioplasty for STEMI were included. The primary outcome measures were in-hospital mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including all-cause mortality, non-fatal MI, target vessel revascularization, and stroke. Secondary outcomes included stent thrombosis and heart failure hospitalizations.
