title: Hypoglycemia in Non-diabetics During Development of Acute Coronary Ischemia.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The occurrence of hyperglycemia in non-diabetics during development of acute coronary ischemia (ACI) indicates latent glucose metabolism disorder, or is a case of newly discovered diabetes mellitus (DM) as a result of stress. Acute coronary syndrome refers to a group of clinical syndromes caused by a sudden circulatory disorder in coronary arteries, resulting in the corresponding myocardial ischemia. It covers range from unstable angina and myocardial infarction (MI) without Q wave in the electrocardiogram finding (NSTEMI) up to myocardial infarction with Q wave in the electrocardiogram finding (STEMI).
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To determine the incidence of hyperglycemia in non-diabetics immediately after the occurrence of acute coronary ischemia and assess its risk factors.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The sample included 80 respondents. Men dominated with a total prevalence of 77.5%. The respondent was at mean age of 62.8±13.8 years. During the first measurement, immediately after hospital admission, 50% of respondents had increased blood glucose value and during the second measurement 62%. Hypertension as a risk factor has 54% and 56% smoking. The incidence of stress diabetes after ACI does not depend on the diagnosis of hypertension, χ(2)=0.050; p=0.823. The differences of mean values (median) BMI between examined persons with/without stress DM are not statistically significant p=0.402. Independent t-test showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the average values of HDL and LDL in patients with stress diabetes than in patients without diabetes stress after ACI p>0.05. For each year of age odds ratio for "stress diabetes" increases by 7% and 95% CI is 2% -12%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The incidence of stress diabetes ACI is not dependent on the working diagnosis (MI or angina pectoris). As risk factors we set hypertension and current smoking. There were no statistically significant associations between active smoking and hypertension as a risk factor in relation to occurrence of stress diabetes.
