Abstract
:
The aim of the study is to determine whether admission blood glucose level can be used as a risk predictor in acute myocardial infarction in non-diabetic patients. Analysis of all non-diabetic patient's files admitted to King Abduaziz University Hospital, Jeddah with a definitive diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction between January 1995 to December 1999 was carried out. A total of 87 patient's charts were studied. The mean age was 53 years (range 35-87 years), and M:F ratio was 7.7:1. Admission blood glucose mmol/l versus 7.4 mmol/l, 8.1mmol/1 versus 7.3 mmol/l and 9.3mmol/l versus 7.8 mmol/l (p= 0.01, 0.03, 0.003respectively). Old age was also significantly associated with poor outcome while no significant relation was found between the peak cardiac enzyme (creatinine phosphokinase) level and worse outcome . Our data indicate that admission blood glucose level could be used as a risk predictor in non-diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction.
