[Chest pain in acute myocardial infarction among diabetic and non-diabetic patients]. / Dor torácica no infarto agudo do miocárdio entre pacientes diabéticos e não diabéticos.

Considering that diabetic patients suffering from Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) may or may not have chest pain, this study aimed to compare the presence and intensity of chest pain in AMI between diabetic and non-diabetic patients. We conducted a cross-sectional study that included patients with AMI, aged ≥ 18 years, both sexes. We used a verbal numeric scale for assessing the presence and intensity of pain. The study included 88 patients, of whom 77 (87.5%) non-diabetic patients and 11 (12.5%) diabetics. The pain was present in 11 (100%) of diabetics and in 76 (98.7%) of non-diabetics. The intensity of pain in diabetics was 8.91 versus 8.23 in non-diabetic patients. The study showed similarity in the presence and intensity of chest pain between diabetic and non diabetic patients suffering from AMI.

Dor torácica no infarto agudo do miocárdio entre pacientes diabéticos e não diabéticos / Chest pain in acute myocardial infarction among diabetic and non-diabetic patients / Dolor torácico en el infarto agudo de miocardio entre pacientes diabéticos y no diabéticos

Considerando-se que pacientes diabéticos acometidos de Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio (IAM) podem, ou não, apresentar dor torácica, objetivou-se neste estudo comparar a presença e intensidade de dor torácica no IAM entre pacientes diabéticos e não diabéticos. Realizou-se um estudo transversal, que incluiu pacientes com IAM, idade ≥18 anos, ambos os sexos. Utilizou-se uma escala numérica verbal para avaliar a presença e a intensidade da dor.Foram incluídos 88 pacientes no estudo, dentre os quais 77 (87,5%) não diabéticos e 11 (12,5%) diabéticos. A dor esteve presente em 11 (100%) dos diabéticos e 76 (98,7%) dos não diabéticos. A intensidade da dor nos diabéticos foi de 8,91 versus 8,23 nos não diabéticos. O estudo mostrou semelhança na presença e intensidade da dor torácica entre pacientes diabéticos e não diabéticos acometidos de IAM.

Teniendo en cuenta que los pacientes diabéticos acometidos de Infarto Agudo del Miocardio (IAM) pueden o no presentar dolor torácico. Este estudio objetivó comparar la presencia e intensidad de dolor torácico en el IAM entre pacientes diabéticos y no-diabéticos. Realizó-se un estudio transversal, que incluyó a pacientes con IAM, ambos sexos, edad ≥18 años. La presencia y la intensidad del dolor fueron evaluadas a través de la escala numérica verbal. Se incluyeron 88 pacientes, de los cuales 77 (87,5%) no-diabéticos y 11 (12,5%) diabéticos. El dolor estuvo presente en 11 (100%) de los diabéticos y en 76 (98,7%) de los no-diabéticos. La intensidad del dolor en los diabéticos fue de 8,91 versus 8,23 en no-diabéticos. El estudio mostró igualdades en la presencia e intensidad del dolor torácico entre pacientes diabéticos y no-diabéticos acometidos de IAM.
