Why the study?
Do different glucometabolic states (known diabetes, newly diagnosed diabetes, or impaired glucose regulation) increase 1-year mortality in patients with coronary artery disease compared to normal glucose regulation?
Population
4,676 patients with coronary artery disease participating in the Euro Heart Survey on diabetes and the heart
Comparison
Known diabetes, newly diagnosed diabetes, or… vs Normal glucose regulation
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
1 year

Diabetes-associated mortality risk in CAD warrants attention but not practice change; leaves open whether IGR or glucose control affects outcomes.
Do different glucometabolic states (known diabetes, newly diagnosed diabetes, or impaired glucose regulation) increase 1-year mortality in patients with coronary artery disease compared to normal glucose regulation?
In patients with coronary artery disease, both known and newly diagnosed diabetes independently predict 1-year mortality, whereas impaired glucose regulation does not.
