Influence of leukocytes and glycemia on the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction

Previous studies have demonstrated that leukocytosis and hyperglycemia verified at the admission of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are associated with intrahospital mortality. However, little is known on the long-term impact of these markers. To evaluate the short-and long-term infl...

Description
Summary:Previous studies have demonstrated that leukocytosis and hyperglycemia verified at the admission of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are associated with intrahospital mortality. However, little is known on the long-term impact of these markers. To evaluate the short-and long-term influence of the levels of glucose and leukocytes on the prognosis of patients with AMI. A total of 809 patients with AMI were retrospectively assessed (mean age: 63.2 +/- 12.87 yrs) and prospectively and consecutively included in a specific database. a) At the intrahospital phase, the mean values were compared between patients that died and those who survived: Leukocytosis: 12156+/-5977 vs 10337+/-3528 (p=0.004, 95%CI = 976-2663); Glucose 176+/-105 mg/dl vs 140+/-72 mg/dl (p
