Should not yet change glucose management post-AMI; extends metabolic observations but remains hypothesis-generating pending trials.
Does acute myocardial infarction alter glucose tolerance, insulin secretion, and free fatty acid levels compared to the convalescent phase?
Acute myocardial infarction induces significant transient metabolic derangements, including impaired insulin secretion and elevated free fatty acids, which are exacerbated by cardiogenic shock.
Allison et al. (1969) studied this question.
