Effect of type 2 diabetes on serum potassium concentrations in the patients with acute coronary syndromes / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare serum potassium concentrations in type 2 diabetic and nondiabetic patients in the early phase of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Methods Seven hundred and forty-five consecutive patients with ACS underwent cardiac catheterization from January, 1999 to March, 2003. Patients were stratified by duration of symptoms,type2diabetes,and?-receptor blocker therapy before admission. Results Serum potassium concentration was significantly higher in type 2 diabetic patients with ACS than that in nondiabetic patients with ACS 〔(4.34?0.48)mmol/L vs (4.00?0.52)mmol/L,P
