Association of Risk Factors and Glycemic Status in Hospital Patients of Different Types of Myocardial Infarction in a Tertiary Care Hospital

Abstract

artery disease.1 A strong correlation between glycaemic status and shock or development of heart failure has also been reported.2 Elevated blood glucose levels per se adversely affect outcome through the cumulative effects of several mechanisms, including induction of endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, hyper coagulability and impaired fibrinolysis. 2,3Patients with diabetes have increased in-hospital mortality following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), with studies suggesting higher risk with both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. 5So, optimal control is needed for better outcome. In this study, we assessed whether there is any relation of glycemic status in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Methodology:This prospective observational study was done in
