Key result
Acute hyperglycemia is associated with an increased risk of various arrhythmias, including atrial arrhythmias, SVT, AV block, and ventricular arrhythmias, through multiple mechanisms.
Why the study?
Acute or stress hyperglycemia is commonly observed in critically ill patients and cardiovascular disease, but the mechanisms linking hyperglycemic conditions to arrhythmia needed description.
This review highlights the mechanisms by which acute or stress hyperglycemia contributes to the development of various arrhythmias in critically ill and cardiovascular patients.

May warrant arrhythmia monitoring in acute hyperglycemia; leaves open whether glycemic control reduces events in critically ill patients.
Acute hyperglycemia or stress hyperglycemia commonly occurs in critically ill patients and could be a marker of disease severity. Hyperglycemia at hospital admission is commonly found in patients with cardiovascular disease, regardless of their diabetic status; one of them is arrhythmia. Arrhythmia or dysrhythmia is a heart rhythm disorder that refers to any disturbance in the frequency, regularity, location of origin or electrical impulses conduction of the heart. Arrhythmias associated with stress hyperglycemia include atrial arrhythmias, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), high-grade (atrioventricular) AV block, and ventricular arrhythmias. Type 2 diabetes was also associated with a significantly increased risk of arrhythmias and sudden death. Hyperglycemia plays an important role in arrhythmia through various mechanisms. In this review, we describe the correlation and mechanism by which arrhythmias may occur in hyperglycemic conditions
