n acute coronary syndromes there is increasing speculation that autonomic dysfunction complicating diabetes may adversely affect outcomes. Mechanisms are unclear but the potential effects on the timing of plaque events, the mode of presentation, myocardial oxygen demand and arrhythmogenesis are discussed in this article.

Key Words: diabetes • acute coronary syndromes • autonomic neuropathy.
