Why the study?
Does the presence of coronary heart disease worsen insulin resistance and glucose handling in patients with a similar cluster of cardiovascular risk factors?
Does the presence of coronary heart disease worsen insulin resistance and glucose handling in patients with a similar cluster of cardiovascular risk factors?
Patients with coronary heart disease exhibit more severe impairment in non-oxidative glucose metabolism and higher fasting insulin levels compared to patients with a similar cluster of cardiovascular risk factors but no CHD.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
CHD presence links to worse insulin resistance beyond risk factors; hypothesis-generating for causality, should not yet change practice.
Paolisso et al. (1993) studied this question.
