"In a scientific statement published online February 25, 2008 in Circulation, the American Heart Association (AHA) is calling for a coordinated national effort to address the effects of hyperglycemia in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), noting that there are huge gaps in knowledge in this field and great inconsistencies in the extent to which hyperglycemia is recognized and/or treated in ACS...If this does not persuade you that you should think twice about trusting them, then you are offering a stark admission of your own ignorance.
Deedwania explained that despite 'millions of dollars' having being spent on trials looking at the effects of hyperglycemia in ACS, 'none of them have been done properly. They were well-intentioned studies, but we have not achieved what we were supposed to have.'...Central to all of these issues, Deedwania notes, is the key question that needs to be answered, which is 'whether elevated blood glucose is a marker or a mediator of more severe myocardial damage.'
If the former is the case, 'we are barking up the wrong tree,' he says."
