Hyperglycemia on admission, an excess risk for infarction

Reference: Planer et al. International Journal of Cardiology 2012 (in press) Prognosis of patients enrolled in acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation (STEMI) has improved markedly, particularly as a result of reperfusion therapy. Despite these improvements, patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are a high risk group in the short and long term compared with<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2012/09/01/n-3956/" title="Read more" >...</a>
