Abstract:
Patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) are often with elevated blood glucose level when admitted to hospital,this finding is associated with poor prognosis regardless of a history of diabetes.Though numerous studies have addressed some of the questions in this field,many critically important questions are still poorly understood and under debate.This article summarized current findings in hyperglycemia and its potential link withadverse outcomes in AMI patients,and addressed some of the existing controversies in this field.
