Summary

In the Diabetes Mellitus-Glucose Infusion in Acute Myocardial Infarction [DIGAMI] study, insulin-glucose infusion, followed by multidose insulin treatment, improved long-term prognosis in diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at 1 year [Malmberg K et al. J Am Coll Cardoiol 1995]. This article discusses recent data from the extended follow-up (maximum 8.3 years; median 4.1 years) for 1145 subjects in the DIGAMI 2 study.
