Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD) by accelerating atherosclerosis. Consequently, diabetic patients are at higher risk of cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction, often presenting with more complex CAD.
Aim and objectives: To compare coronary angiographic findings in diabetic and non-diabetic patients presenting with acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).

Background: J wave syndrome/Early Repolarization Syndrome (ERS) is characterized by sudden cardiac death (SCD), ventricular fibrillation (VF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT). Tikkanen classifies the elevation of the J point according to the slope of the ST segment and they are malignant (horizontal) and benign (positive) slopes. ERS is classified into three types and is a common cause of SCD ... Read more
