Admission hyperglycemia in acute myocardial infarction is associated with an increased risk of arrhythmias: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Admission hyperglycemia (AH) has shown to be associated with higher mortality rates in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Malignant arrhythmia is one of the causes of death in AMI; however, it is unclear whether AH is associated with an increased arrhythmia risk. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the association between AH and arrhythmias in AMI.

Methods

We searched MEDLINE, and Embase databases from inception to September 2021 to identify studies that compared arrhythmia rates between AMI patients with AH and those without. Arrhythmias of interest included ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VA), atrial fibrillation (AF), and atrioventricular block.

Results

Thirteen cohort studies with a total of 12,898 patients were included. AH wa
