Conclusion
Elevated glucose levels at admission for anterior STEMI are associated with impaired microvascular function in myocardial territories remote from the infarction, as assessed by CFVR in reference coronary arteries measured after PPCI. This influence of glucose levels is an acute phenomenon dominantly affecting coronary autoregulation, affecting BMR and bAPV, and contributes to the pan-myocardial microvascular dysfunction observed in acute STEMI.
