Diabetes, hypertension, overweight and hyperlipidemia and 7-day case-fatality in first myocardial infarction
Conclusions In this population-based inception cohort study, diabetes but not hypertension and hyperlipidemia were associated with MI fatality. This further emphasizes the importance of diabetes as a cardiovascular risk factor and the need for close surveillance of diabetic patients. Overweight was however associated with decreased MI fatality.
