ABSTRACT
To determine in-hospital outcomes post AMI hyperglycemia. 109 patients of acute myocardial infarction were included in this study. Physical examination, ECG tracings, random plasma glucose, serum cholesterol, triglycerides and cardiac enzymes [CPK, LDH and AST] were measured. Hyperglycemic patients [plasma glucose 126mg/dl] were sub-divided into those with a previous history of diabetes and those without any such history. Post AMI plasma glucose levels were exceptionally higher in female patients aged 61-70 years while they were moderately higher in males of age groups 31-40 and 51-60, and females of age group 41-50 years. In-hospital mortality rate was greater in hyperglycemic patients. Most importantly also, significantly greater complications of the heart were encountered in hyperglycemics. Post AMI patients are at a greater risk of developing diabetes and concurrent AMI attack
