Hyperlactatemia and the Outcome of Type 2 Diabetic Patients Suffering Acute Myocardial Infarction by Jovanovic Aleksandar, Peric Vladan, Snezana Markovic-Jovanovic, Radojica Stolic, Jadranka Mitic, Tanja Smilic

“…Three groups, each consisting of 40 patients (type 2 diabetics with myocardial infarction, DM+AMI, nondiabetics suffering myocardial infarction, MI, and diabetics with no apparent cardiovascular pathology, DM group), were tested for pH, serum bicarbonate and electrolytes, blood lactate, and CK-MB. Results. Blood lactate levels were markedly higher in AMI+DM compared to MI group (4.54±1.44 versus 3.19±1.005 mmol/L, p<0.05); they correlated with the incidence of heart failure (ρ=0.66), cardiac rhythm disorders (ρ=0.54), oxygen saturation (ρ=0.72), CK-MB levels (ρ=0.62), and poor short-term outcome. …”
