Mean age was 58 years. The unadjusted rates were higher in DM patients compared to non-diabetics for the composite cardiovascular end-point (73.2% vs. 40.6% p < .0001), acute myocarditis (36.6% vs. 15.5% p = .004), acute heart failure (25.3% vs. 5.6% p = .001), acute myocardial infarction (9.9% vs. 1.4% p = .03) and new-onset atrial fibrillation (12.7% vs. 1.4% p = .009). After controlling for relevant confounding variables, diabetic patients had higher odds of composite cardiovascular end-point, acute heart failure and new-onset atrial fibrillation.
