Key result
OGTT identifies abnormal glucose regulation in up to ~58% of CAD patients without known diabetes.
Why the study?
The prevalence of abnormal glucose regulation in adult patients with coronary artery disease was not well characterized across Europe.
Population
4196 adult patients with coronary artery disease referred to a cardiologist in 110 centres across 25 European countries
Comparison
Patients with normal glucose regulation vs abnormal glucose regulation identified by OGTT
Design
Cross-sectional survey using oral glucose tolerance test

Abnormal glucose regulation is highly prevalent in patients with coronary artery disease, suggesting that routine OGTT screening could identify many patients who might benefit from optimized metabolic management.

M. Bartnik (2004) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary artery disease (n=4,196). Coronary artery disease was evaluated on Prevalence of abnormal glucose regulation. Oral glucose tolerance testing in CAD patients without known diabetes revealed impaired glucose regulation in 36% and newly detected diabetes in 22% of acute cases, and 37% and 14% of stable cases.
