Aim: Assessment of stress hyperglycemia in cases of acute coronary syndrome. Methods: This descriptive multicentre study was done at Cardiology Departments, Bolan Medical College Hospital, Quetta and Shaikh Zayed Hospital Lahore from 1st January 2016 to 31st December 2016. Total 100 cases of acute coronary syndrome both male or female age range from 40-70 years were selected for present study. Serum glucose level at the time of admission was recorded and in-hospital mortality rate was recorded in pre-designed proforma. Results: Average age of the selected patients for study was 57+-7 years. Out of 100 patients, 40(40%) patients were found with stress hyperglycemia at admission in ward and in-hospital mortality rate was 14(14%). Statistically insignificant (P = 0.075 ) association of in-hospital mortality with stress hyperglycemia was noted. Conclusion: The higher number of stress hyperglycemia in cases of ACS and statistically insignificant association of in-hospital mortality with stress hyperglycemia was noted.
