Stress hyperglycemia and poor outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

MARCH 10, 2024

Background Hyperglycemia, characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, is frequently observed in patients with acute coronary syndrome, including ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). There are conflicting sources regarding the relationship between hyperglycemia and outcomes in STEMI patients. 3.45) and 4.47 (95% CI: 2.54–7.87),

Now appears to be in cardiogenic shock." However, cardiogenic shock usually takes some time to develop, so it is probably subacute." This can only be due to STEMI. Cardiogenic shock and ACS is an indication for the cath lab, even if you don't think there is OMI. I was texted these ECGs.

This ECG was read as “No STEMI” with no prior available for comparison. It is true this ECG does not meet STEMI criteria (there is 1.0 The Queen of Hearts sees it of course: Still none of these three ECGs meet STEMI criteria. Two stents were placed with resultant TIMI 3 flow. What do you think? Of course not.

A temporary pacemaker was implanted, and she was admitted to the ICU with cardiogenic shock. In our study, there were 20/53 complete LAD OMI (TIMI-0 flow) which did not meet STEMI criteria.

The patient was brought to the ED as a possible Code STEMI and was seen directly by cardiology. Similarly, STEMI guidelines call for urgent angiography for refractory ischemia or electrical/hemodynamic instability, regardless of ECG findings. So the RCA was stented.

There is an obvious inferior STEMI, but what else? Why is the patient in shock? Besides the obvious inferior STEMI, there is across the precordial leads also, especially in V1.

AUGUST 9, 2019

When total LM occlusion does present with STE in aVR, there is ALWAYS ST Elevation elsewhere which makes STEMI obvious; in other words, STE is never limited to only aVR but instead it is part of a massive and usually obvious STEMI. All are, however, clearly massive STEMI. This is her ECG: An obvious STEMI, but which artery?

The axiom of "type 1 (ACS, plaque rupture) STEMIs are not tachycardic unless they are in cardiogenic shock" is not applicable outside of sinus rhythm. Is that an obvious STEMI underneath that rhythm? Is this inferor STEMI? Atrial Flutter with Inferior STEMI? If I fix the rhythm will the ST changes resolve?
