Abstract:
We described the importance of stress hyperglycemia (SH) in critical illnesses and their evaluation in the emergency department (ED) and coronary care unit (CCU). Hyperglycemia is found in over half of the patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI). SH can be used for several purposes in AMI. Receiver operating characteristic curves are needed to find optimal cut-offs to divide blood glucose levels associated with good from bad prognosis in AMI. There is a need for a consensus for pragmatic classification of first day glycemia in order to be useful in a busy ED and CCU.

The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...
