The Effect of Diabetes Mellitus on Cardiac Remodeling and Overall Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Single-Center Retrospective Study in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major chronic condition that is considered a strong indicator of poor cardiovascular outcomes, such as recurrent infarction and heart failure (HF), in individuals with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the concept of left ventricular remodeling (LVR) following AMI in DM patients is not well understood and studied in Saudi Arabia. Thus, the aim of this study is to assess the association between LVR and DM in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who had reperfusion therapy with optimal medical therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
