Why the study?
Information on outcomes other than mortality associated with dysglycemia at acute myocardial infarction is less well explored in patients without diabetes from a long-term perspective.
Does elevated admission glucose increase the risk of long-term complications in patients with AMI without diabetes?
Population
45 468 patients without diabetes with AMI and admission glucose <=11 mmol/L (<=198 mg/dL)
Comparison
Categorized admission glucose levels vs reference glucose 4.0-6.0 mmol/L (72-109 mg/dL)
Design
Nationwide registry-based cohort study
Follow-up
Mean 3.3+/-1.7 years
Loading...
Admission hyperglycemia may stratify long-term risk after AMI without diabetes; leaves open whether glucose-targeted interventions improve outcomes.
Does elevated admission glucose increase the risk of long-term complications in patients with AMI without diabetes?
Elevated admission glucose levels in non-diabetic patients with AMI are associated with an increased long-term risk of heart failure, renal failure, and death, highlighting its utility in risk stratification.
