Implication

May inform post-MI metabolic evaluation beyond BMI; leaves open causal links to glucose and lipid abnormalities.

Structured PICO

Population

Nonselected men surviving a myocardial infarction

Comparator

Randomly selected men from the same region of equivalent age

Outcome

Glucose and insulin values in plasma after a peroral glucose tolerance test, triglycerides and cholesterol in plasma, body composition and adipose tissue fat cell diametersurrogate

Men surviving myocardial infarction exhibit diminished glucose tolerance and elevated plasma lipids, highlighting the association between metabolic abnormalities and coronary disease.
