May inform risk stratification after anterior MI; leaves open whether targeting stress hyperglycaemia alters remodelling.
Does stress hyperglycaemia predict left ventricular remodelling in non-diabetic patients with anterior myocardial infarction?
Stress hyperglycaemia on admission is a strong independent predictor of adverse left ventricular remodelling at 1 year in non-diabetic patients following an anterior myocardial infarction.
Bauters et al. (2006) studied this question.
