Additive effect of admission hyperglycemia on left ventricular stiffness in patients following acute myocardial infarction verified by CMR tissue tracking

Stress hyperglycemia occurs frequently in patients following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and may aggravate myocardial stiffness, but relevant evidence is still lacking. Accordingly, this study aimed to examine the impact of admission stress hyperglycemia on left ventricular (LV) myocardial deformation in patients following AMI.
