A member asked:
What are the chances of a second heart attack 10 years after bypass surgery. does the risk increase if you are an insulin dependant diabetic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Second MI: Yes! Having diabetes of any kind quadruples your risk of a heart attack or stroke. It is fairly common for patients to have issues with their coronary artery disease a few years after bypass or a stent.
