Is primary angioplasty more effective than prehospital fibrinolysis in diabetics with acute myocardial infarction? Data from the CAPTIM randomized clinical trial

Abstract

These results suggest that diabetic patients presenting within 6 h of an acute myocardial infarction may derive particular benefit from a strategy of primary angioplasty. However, the small number of diabetic patients in this subgroup analysis does not allow a final conclusion and a specifically designed study is warranted.
