Brief summary
The goal of this study is to use MCE (myocardial contrast/perfusion echocardiography) to study and compare short/long term change of myocardial perfusion abnormality and cardiac outcome in diabetic patients after nonfatal MI (heart attack), who are treated with different glucose control agents.
