Heart Rate Turbulence Can Predict Cardiac Mortality Following Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus

Heart Rate Turbulence in Post‐MI Patients With DM. Background: Previous studies have described the clinical utility of heart rate turbulence (HRT) as an autonomic predictor in risk‐stratifying patients after myocardial infarction (MI). Some reports showed that diabetes mellitus (DM) affects the prognostic value of autonomic markers. We assessed the utility of HRT as a risk marker in post‐MI patients with DM and without DM.
