“…This is because a stress response is accompanied by high levels of catecholamines and cortisol, and these hormones increase glycogenolysis and lipolysis and reduce insulin sensitivity, resulting in elevated glucose levels (14). Therefore, patients with elevated glucose levels may represent patients with an increased stress response, for example, due to more severe hemodynamic compromise or more extensive myocardial damage (15,16). Stress hyperglycemia increases mortality, congestive heart failure and cardiogenic shock after AMI (17).…”

“…4 In view of the poor prognosis of HF, aggressively identifying patients who are suitable for revascularization would appear to be justified to preserve left ventricular function, prevent left ventricular remodeling, and improve survival. Indeed, revascularization has been shown to be associated with improved survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction and HF 12,13 or shock. 14 In non-ST-segment elevation ACS, regardless of the presence of HF, three recent trials have provided consistent evidence of the benefit of early revascularization.…”

“…6 Other high-risk baseline characteristics found to be associated with developing HF include prior HF, older age, female gender, race, current smoker status, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, prior angina or stroke, peripheral vascular disease, previous coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), admission diagnosis of STEMI or NSTEMI, ST-segment changes, anterior STsegment elevation, post-revascularization Q waves on ECG, right bundle branch block, LVEF< 30%, Killip class >2 at presentation, higher presenting heart rate, atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and baseline TIMI grade 0 flow. 6,31,32,36,[41][42][43][44][45] Close attention to patients with those baseline characteristics in the setting of ACS and PCI, vigilance for early signs of HF and implementing preventive treatment, such as earlier use of the RAASB and BB might potentially lower the rate of HF during hospital stay in such patients. 6 Rare, but serious, causes of HF in patients who have STEMI include ventricular septal defect, acute mitral valve insufficiency due to ischemia or infarction and rupture of a papillary muscle or chordae.…”
