Do hbA1c and diabetes predict perioperative hyperglycemia and glycemic variability in on-pump coronary artery bypass graft patients?
Diabetic status and/or elevated HbA1c are predictors of postoperative glucose variability and hyperglycemia in CABG surgery patients. However, in the intraoperative period, these groups show similar glycemic responses to operative stress.
These results provide a framework for further genetic studies in the Kuchinoshima-Ushi population and research on functions of SNP-containing genes, which would aid in understanding the molecular basis underlying phenotypic variation of economically important traits in cattle and in improving intrinsic defects in domestic cattle breeds.
