May support HbA1c to detect unrecognized diabetes in MI admissions; leaves open whether screening improves outcomes.
Does glycosylated hemoglobin (Hb A1) measurement help identify previously unrecognized diabetes in nondiabetic patients admitted with suspected myocardial infarction?
Hb A1 measurement is a practical method to differentiate stress-induced hyperglycemia from previously unrecognized diabetes in patients admitted with suspected MI.
