Abnormal glucose regulation in patients with acute ST- elevation myocardial infarction-a cohort study on 224 patients

Abstract: Background: A high prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance and unknown type 2-diabetes in patients with coronary heart disease and no previous diagnosis of diabetes have been reported. The aims of the present study were to investigate the prevalence of abnormal glucose regulation (AGR) 3 months after an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in patients without known glucometabolic disturbance, to evaluate the reliability of a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) performed very early after an acu… Show more

“…25 The original finding in the GAMI study that as many as two-thirds of patients with AMI have previously unknown, AGT has subsequently been confirmed by several studies in people with unstable as well as stable coronary artery disease. [8][9][10]26 An OGTT performed earlier than 4-5 days after an acute coronary syndrome may give erroneous results due to a stress-induced increased adrenergic tone 27 and since discharge from hospital today frequently are within a few days, the best option may be to prescribe the Table 3. Events in patients and controls by glucometabolic status until death or 31 December 2011.…”

“…It is well known that a number of STEMI patients have undetected diabetes mellitus, and they were not excluded in our study. 15,26 Indeed, when the HbA 1c cutoff value of Ն6.5% as suggested by the American Diabetes Association was used, Ϸ5% of our population could readily be diagnosed with diabetes mellitus on admission (undiagnosed diabetes mellitus), and they were not excluded from the main analysis. 27 However, because there was a stepwise increase in mortality with increasing HbA 1c levels starting from the lowest to the highest quartile, we believe that our findings are not solely attributable to the number of patients with undetected diabetes mellitus.…”

“…Oral glukosetoleransetest er i noen studier vist å ha prognostisk verdi og kan vurderes etter en akutt koronar hendelse, men anbefales ikke som fast rutine (13,14,(16)(17)(18).…”
