The risk of ischemic stroke after acute myocardial infarction in diabetics has dropped over a 10 year period, according to a study of more than 173,000 AMI patients in the Swedish RIKS-HIA register.
The findings were presented at the ESC Congress today by Ms Stina Jakobsson from Sweden. They reveal that reperfusion therapy and secondary prevention drugs produced the decline and brought stroke risk after AMI closer to that of non-diabetics.
