Glucose dysregulation in nondiabetic patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction: acute and chronic glucose dysregulation in STEMI.

摘要

Background: Admission hyperglycaemia is associated with an increased risk of mortality after myocardial infarction. Whether long-term glucose dysregulation (assessed by HbA1c) is more important than acute hyperglycaemia is unknown. We evaluated the prognostic value of admission glucose and HbA1c levels in nondiabetic patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: In 504 unselected, consecutive patients with STEMI, glucose and HbA1c levels were measured on admission. glucose was categorised as.
