Implication
Persistent microvascular dysfunction despite epicardial success in impaired fasting glycemia warrants caution; leaves open whether glycemic interventions improve perfusion.

Intervention
Acute reperfusion management, antithrombotic regimens, and glycemic control
This review emphasizes the need for targeted therapies to improve microvascular perfusion and glycemic control in STEMI patients with abnormal glucose metabolism.
