Admission Hyperglycemia and TIMI Frame Count in Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Abstract: We evaluated the relationship between admission blood glucose levels and estimated coronary flow by the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) frame count (TFC) method in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). The TFC of 121 consecutive patients with STEMI were evaluated after pPCI. Patients with admission glucose levels > 198 mg/dL (11 mmol/L) were defined as hyperglycemic. Hyperglycemia was observed in 36 (29.8%) pa… Show more

“…These changes may represent a prothrombotic state that leads to microvascular dysfunction and may be responsible for the failure of thrombolysis. Previous studies found deleterious effects of hyperglycemia in terms of coronary flow following primary PCI [26,27]. However, to our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate the effect of acute hyperglycemia on the success of fibrinolysis.…”

“…The results of studies analysing the impact of reactive hyperglycaemia on the final effect of the PCI procedure are well known. There is evidence that the higher the glucose values observed on admission, the greater the likelihood of slower inflow in coronary vessels -cTFC ≥ 28 [17,18]. In my own study I observed a similar trend between different groups of patients taking into account the blood glucose level on admission, although the differences were not statistically significant.…”

“…It has been implied that, regardless of diabetes history, admission with hyperglycemia has a close connection with mortality [31]. Yildiz et al reported that glucose on admission was independent of high TFC, regardless of diabetes history [32]. Recently, a study revealed that hyperglycemia affects coronary thrombus burden and inflammatory status, resulting in worse prognosis in patients undergoing interventional treatment [33].…”
