• Diabetes is a significant risk factor in patients with non ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Sex-related differences in clinical course of NSTEMI have not been extensively studied. During one year all consecutive patients presenting with NSTEMI and diabetes were enrolled. A total of 298 (158 women and 140 men) were analyzed. Clinical presentation, applied treatment and prognosis were compared between women and men. Women tended to be older. More men smoked cigarettes. Pharmacological approach was similar in both groups. Men underwent revascularization more often. Despite those differences both short- and long-term mortality were comparable. Despite the common knowledge on negative influence of diabetes and female sex in NSTEMI patients, in multivariate analysis only age and three or four Killip class on admission were significant.
