Abstract

Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is an approved and widely used laboratory investigation for diagnosis of diabetes that is not affected by acute changes in blood glucose. Our aim was to analyze the extent to which routine HbA1c measurements diagnose unknown diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We also compared outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed DM, previously established DM and those without DM. Consecutive patients undergoing PCI for STEMI from January 2005 to December 2012 were included and routinely performed admission HbA1c was used to identify patients with previously undiagnosed DM (HbA1c ≥6.5 and no history of DM or DM therapy) and pre-DM (HbA1c 5.7% to 6.4%). Overall 1,686 consecutive patients underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention for STEMI during the study period and follow-up data were available for 1,566 patients (90%). A quarter of the patients (24%, n = 405) had history of DM, 7% (n = 118) had previously undiagnosed DM, and 38.7% (n = 652) had pre-DM. Mortality was comparable in patients with known DM and newly diagnosed DM both in-hospital (11.1% vs 11.9%, p = 0.87) and at 3-year follow-up (27.3% and 24%). Patients with DM, includin...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
