Electrocardiographic correlates of hyperglycemia in acute myocardial infarction.
Clinical, biochemical and electrocardiographic parameters were studied in 10 patients with uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction with hyperglycemia (but normal glycosylated hemoglobin), and 15 age- and sex-matched patients with uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction without hyperglycemia. The magnitude of hyperglycemia correlated with the site and extent of the infarct, the magnitude of ST-segment elevation and the levels of 17-ketosteroids in the urine.
