Implication
Hyperglycemia in AMI remains associated with adverse outcomes in observational data; leaves open optimal management and mechanisms for prospective study.
Key Points
- To review existing epidemiological evidence on hyperglycaemia prevalence and its association with clinical outcomes in patients hospitalised with acute myocardial infarction.
- Literature review synthesising over 40 years of observational and epidemiological studies evaluating elevated blood glucose in acute myocardial infarction.
- Observational evidence links elevated blood glucose during acute myocardial infarction to an increased risk of adverse clinical outcomes.
- Considerable controversies and poorly understood questions persist regarding the precise prognostic mechanisms and optimal management strategies.
