To investigate the circadian pattern of acute myocardial infarction in non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients and to compare it with that of controls.
Previous studies have shown that there is a circadian variation in the incidence of acute myocardial infarction, but there are few data on diabetic subjects.
A hospital based prospective case-control study.
196 diabetic patients and 196 age and sex matched controls were admitted with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction during the study period. IN 32 diabetic patients and 38 controls, the time of onset of myocardial infarction was unknown; in 34, 44, 42, and 44 diabetic patients the onset was in the first to fourth quarters respectively (chi 2 = 1.66, NS). The corresponding figures for the controls were 30, 56, 45, and 27 (chi 2 = 13.9, P < 0.005). The difference between the two groups was highly significant (chi 2 = 10.3, P < 0.025).
Diabetic subjects do not show a significant circadian variation in the onset of acute myocardial infarction.
研究非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者急性心肌梗死的昼夜模式,并与对照组进行比较。
先前的研究表明急性心肌梗死的发病率存在昼夜变化,但关于糖尿病患者的数据较少。
一项基于医院的前瞻性病例对照研究。
在研究期间,196例糖尿病患者和196例年龄及性别匹配的对照因急性心肌梗死入院。32例糖尿病患者和38例对照的心肌梗死发病时间未知;34例、44例、42例和44例糖尿病患者的发病分别在第一至四季度(卡方 = 1.66,无显著性差异)。对照组的相应数字为30例、56例、45例和27例(卡方 = 13.9,P < 0.005)。两组之间的差异非常显著(卡方 = 10.3,P < 0.025)。
糖尿病患者急性心肌梗死的发病不存在显著的昼夜变化。
