Hyperglycemia at the time of hospital admission is a significant predictor of increased mortality among patients with acute myocardial infarction. Furthermore, hyperglycemia and insulin resistance both exacerbate a large number of systemic factors that are known to increase the risk of coronary artery disease or to predict relatively poor clinical outcomes.

This supplement is an outgrowth of presentations made during a symposium for cardiologists and other cardiac care professionals, “Improving Control of Hyperglycemia,” which was held in Dallas, Texas, in November 2005.
