Diabetes and Heart Disease Death on the Rise in New York City Potentially Threatening Long-Established Nationwide Trend to Reduce Coronary Heart Disease Events
A recent study of New Yorkers with diabetes showed an alarming increase in heart disease and morbidity. The study, which reviewed New York City death certificates, hospitalization and hospital discharge data from 1988-2002, revealed an upsurge in diabetes patients hospitalized for myocardial infarction. If this upsurge continues, it threatens the long-established nationwide trend to reduce coronary artery disease events. For more information go to the Journal of Diabetes, Volume 55, 2006.
