China: A recent study published in BMC Cardiovascular Disorders Journal has revealed that the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is a significant and independent predictor of in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) particularly in nondiabetic patients.
The study, which enrolled 1,944 patients within 24 hours of a new STEMI diagnosis calculated SHR by dividing the blood glucose level at admission by the estimated average glucose. MACCE was defined as acute cerebral infarction, mechanical complications of myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock, and all-cause death.
