Hope you guys can help ![]() thank you To be able to figure this out You need to understand the pathophysiology of what higher levels of glucose and diabetes have on the body. Uncontrolled diabetes With high glucose levels can cause a multitude of issues one of which is stiffening of the vessel walls. Still vessel walls put increased stress on the heart and can cause an increased BP. Both of those things can lead to an MI. Comment:
I see, I once read that high glucose can speed up the atherosclerosis process. Thanks for your respond
Comment:
I was taught that tight glycemic control is beneficial in all hospitalized clients. It helps to lower infection risk and heart patients need their bodies to focus on healing cardiac damage rather than struggling with glycemic control.
Comment:
Glucose control is important because it has to do with muscle contractility and blood vessel flexiblity...high glucose levels cause atherosclerosis if not controlled...the blood vessels tighten up and circulation decreases, oxygen supply is decreased and ischemia can get worse...

Atherosclerosis is a secondary concern in the management of an MI. The atherosclerosis effect of glucose treatment is minimal. Risk vs need my friend.
Comment:
glucose also makes the blood thicker, like syrup. That means the heart has to work harder to achieve perfusion in all tissues.
