OGTT may enhance post-MI risk stratification over fasting glucose alone; leaves open whether targeting abnormal tolerance improves outcomes.
Does abnormal glucose tolerance on OGTT predict major adverse cardiovascular events better than impaired fasting glucose in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
In patients with acute myocardial infarction, an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test is a stronger predictor of future adverse cardiovascular events than impaired fasting blood glucose.
