Admission hyperglycaemia is a strong risk factor for mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome and may be even stronger than a previous history of diabetes. Hyperglycaemic patients without recognised diabetes have a higher short-term mortality risk than hyperglycaemic patients with known diabetes.
