The Table Compares MI Patients with and without a Diagnosed Diabetes Mellitus Regarding the Distribution of Pathological Heart Rate Turbulence Values

Diabetes Mellitus n = 24 No Diabetes Mellitus n = 172 P
TO −0.6 ± 3.1  −2.5 ± 5.5  <0.02
TS 3.7 ± 3.3 5.1 ± 3.6 n.s. (0.07)
TO > 0% 14 (58%) 39 (23%) <0.05
TS < 2.5 ms 14 (58%) 43 (26%) <0.05

EF: left ventricular ejection fraction; TO: turbulence onset; TS: turbulence slope; P value < 0.05 is considered as significant.
