Influence of Bedside Blood Insulin Measurement on Acute Coronary Syndrome Pathways

Abstract: In ACS, insulin levels are altered in half of the patients. After the investigators noted its tight correlation with the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction coronary flow score, its determination could be important in ACS for triggering emergency coronary angiography for percutaneous coronary intervention. This could modify the critical pathways of ACS patients in the emergency department.

“…Hyperglycemia in STEMI patients has direct acute negative cardiovascular effects contributing to incomplete myocardial reperfusion and CMF impairment [ 24 - 28 ]. The prognostic relevance of hyperinsulinemia in STEMI patients [ 29 , 30 ] and its relationship with coronary flow [ 31 ] are less well evaluated and acknowledged.…”

“…Venous hyperglycaemia may be the consequence of different alterations of insulin production/utilization but also of other mechanisms and factors influencing the glucose metabolism. 17,18 In such patients insulin administration would not be always pertinent: as already noted, observation of a too strict glycaemia regimen is known to be sometimes dangerous. [3][4][5][6] The levels of central glycaemia and their evolution could be an indicator of the liver function as well, at least partly.…”

“…This would be confirmed by some clinical observations in ICU which have shown that the reported hyperglycaemia could correspond to different levels of blood insulin contents. 12 In animals after anaesthesia and surgery, temporary hyperglycaemia was more frequent and more important, than after anaesthesia only. This was probably due to the influence of intubation and operative stress, and corresponds to literature data concerning acute critical care.…”

“…It is also well known that acute situations in critically ill or post-operation patients have a significant influence on their glycaemia levels. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] However the link between these two factors does not seem to have been established though the part of glucose utilization in the heath production of the organism is known to be about 70%. 13 Recently new possibilities of approaching the investigation of the heath loss during surgery has appeared thanks to a new device called ADD (apparatus for diabetes diagnosis) which continuously registers core/deep (Tc) and superficial (Ts) temperatures of the body and their difference (Tc-Ts=dT).…”
