Abstract

Background— Whether diabetic patients without a history of myocardial infarction (MI) have the same risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) events as nondiabetic patients with a history of MI remains controversial. We compared risks of CHD and stroke events and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD) in diabetic and nondiabetic men and women with and without a history of MI. Methods and Results— We followed a total of 13 790 African American and white men and women ages 45 to 64 years who participated in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study, beginning in 1987 to 1989. There were 634 fatal CHD or nonfatal MI events, 312 fatal or nonfatal strokes, and 358 deaths from CVD during an average of 9 years of follow-up (125 998 person-years). After adjustment for age, sex, race, Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities field center, and multiple baseline risk factors, patients who had a history of MI without diabetes at baseline had 1.9 times the risk of fatal CHD or nonfatal MI (95% CI, 1.35 to 2.56; P <0.001) compared with diabetic patients without a prior history of MI. The nondiabetic patients with MI also had 1.8 times the risk of CVD mortality compared with diabetic patients without MI (95% CI, 1.22 to 2.72; P =0.003). However, stroke risk was similar between diabetic patients without MI and nondiabetic patients with MI (RR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.61 to 1.79; P =0.87). We also observed that nondiabetic patients with MI had a carotid artery wall thickness similar to diabetic patients without MI ( P =0.77). Conclusions— Diabetic patients without MI had lower risk of CHD events and mortality from CVD compared with nondiabetic patients with MI, but stroke risk was similar between these 2 groups.

  • Several statin trials with large type 2 diabetes subpopulations, including GREACE, TNT, and PROVE IT, have shown significant reductions in mortality and cardiovascular events.

    “However, several statin trials with large T2D subpopulations, including the GREACE (GREek Atorvastatin and Coronary-Heart-Disease Evaluation) study, TNT (Treating to New Targets) study, and PROVE IT (Pravastatin or Atorvastatin Evaluation and Infection Therapy) trial, have shown significant reductions in mortality and CVD events.”

    The Discussion (page unavailable) mentions statins only as preventive agents the authors could not account for in their ARIC analysis. Searches for GREACE, TNT, PROVE IT, and statin-trial reductions found no passage reporting the claimed mortality or cardiovascular-event benefits. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
