Glycaemic variability is associated with severity of coronary artery disease in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes and acute myocardial infarction.
CONCLUSION: - In AMI patients with poorly controlled diabetes, GV is associated with CAD severity beyond chronic hyperglycaemia. Although no causality can be determined from our observational study, the results suggest that, in AMI, early evaluation of GV might contribute to the identification of those diabetes patients at high risk, and serve as a therapeutic target for both primary and secondary prevention.
