Variations in glucose levels may indicate severity of heart attack damage

Research in Brazil found that glycemic delta, a measure of blood sugar variability, is associated with the size of the heart attack and the strength of heart contractions. The study suggests that high glycemic delta may be a biomarker for worse outcomes in patients who have experienced their first acute myocardial infarction.
