The authors examined 68 patients with a acute myocardial infarction without previously detected diabetes. They evaluated the importance of the relationship of the intensity of the stressor, humoral stress response and the response of the carbohydrate metabolism for the early prognosis of the infarction. Despite the complexity of these relations and heterogenity in the group of these patients, the authors confirmed the prognostic importance of hyperglycaemia, cortisolaemia and urinary catecholamine levels, and based on their own experience, they recommended to follow up these indicators during the first days after development of the infarction.
