The role of angioplasty for non-Q wave myocardial infarction: the impact of diabetes on outcomes.
Understanding of the mechanisms, outcomes and treatment of non-Q wave myocardial infarction (NQMI) has evolved. Coexisting diabetes poses additional challenges. We studied baseline characteristics, in-hospital and one-year outcomes for NQMI patients having percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
