A study to investigate the correlation of stress hyperglycemia with coronary angiographic profile in acute stemi patients

Many studies have showed the association between higher admission glucose levels and increased risk of mortality in patients with AMI. The aims of the study is to assess the correlation of stress hyperglycaemia in patients with STEMI with the coronary angiographic profile. Severity of the CAD was calculated by GENSINI scoring. Double
and triple vessel involvements were more common in stress hyperglycaemia group in our study. Results showed Gensini score correlated positively with admission glucose level implicating important pathogenic effect of stress hyperglycaemia during acute MI. A positive correlation among admission blood glucose level and severity of coronary artery involvement was observed in STEMI patients in our study.
