Hyperglycaemia, Diabetes and Myocardial Infarction

As many as one-quarter of all patients admitted to hospital after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may have an elevated blood glucose concentration. Moreover hyperglycaemia in this context is associated with a poor prognosis. In this article we examine the prevalence of hyperglycaemia and the determinants of blood glucose level on patients with AM1 to assess whether the relationship between hyperglycaemia and poor outcome might be causative, and thereby potentially amenable to intervention.
