Diabetes as a risk factor for sudden death

B Balkau et al. Lancet. .

Abstract

Although a family history of sudden death was a risk factor for sudden death in the Paris Prospective Study I, diabetes was also a strong risk factor, with a similar risk after accounting for other cardiovascular risk factors. Diabetes, however, was not a risk factor for death by myocardial infarction.
