Why the study?
Does admission hyperglycaemia and/or diabetes mellitus worsen outcomes in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI?
Does admission hyperglycaemia and/or diabetes mellitus worsen outcomes in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI?
Admission hyperglycemia in non-diabetics predicts high in-hospital mortality, whereas hyperglycemia in diabetics predicts long-term cardiovascular mortality after primary PCI for STEMI.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Hyperglycaemia on admission may flag STEMI patients needing intensified monitoring; leaves open whether glucose control modifies in-hospital or long-term mortality after primary PCI.
Ergelen et al. (2010) studied this question.
