Background: In acute ST?elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), hyponatremia occurs due to neurohormonal activation. Magnitude of this neurohormonal change is related to the severity of myocardial damage while in patients with acute myocardial infarction, elevation of plasma glucose levels is associated with worse outcomes. The present research was undertaken to study the outcome of acute STEMI with hyponatremia and hyperglycemia.
Method: Study included 102 consecutive patients with diagnosis of acute STEMI admitted in ICCU of a tertiary care centre. Risk factors, clinical presentation, demographic features, Electrocardiogram findings and type of myocardial infarction with serum sodium and blood sugar level on admission were studied with their association with death were documented.
Results: The mean age of patient was 59.1
