The Significance of Dynamics of ST Segment Changes when Assessing the
Effectiveness of Mechanical Reperfusion of the Myocardium in
Hyperglycaemic Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction with Persistent
ST-Segment Elevation
Author(s): Andres M*
Background: The coexistence of coronary heart disease and consequently acute myocardial infarction with
persistent ST-segment elevation (STEMI) and glucose metabolism disorders is well known. Still, glucose metabolism
disorders in the STEMI population are not fully understood. We know that diabetes mellitus (DM) is a factor disabling
the function of microcirculation, which in turn may affect the outcome of a coronary intervention.
Aim: To evaluate the dynamics of ST-segment changes in ECG (electrocardiogram) in STEMI (ST-segment
elevation myocardial infarction) patients with co-existing hyperglycaemia compared to those with normoglycaemia
treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), as well as to determine this parameter in the assessment of
reperfusion effectiveness.
