Key result
Abstract assessing impaired glucose regulation in ACS reports no results.
Observational
No results reported on impaired glucose regulation in ACS; leaves open incidence and prognostic impact.
Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT); diabetes and prediabetes, is common among patients with CAD. Diabetic patients usually have a worse clinical course, so it is important to detect diabetes and even prediabetes, since progress to T2DM can be retarded by lifestyle interventions. It is known that OGTT is recommended in patients with CAD, but still HbA1c and FPG are more clinically applicable. Our study aimed to assess the incidence of IGR in patients with ACS using HbA1 and FPG as most of previous studies used OGTT and to study the impact of IGR on in hospital clinical outcomes and severity of coronary arteries lesions using Syntax score.

Kishk et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Acute Coronary Syndromes. Impaired glucose regulation (assessed by HbA1c and FPG) was evaluated on Incidence of impaired glucose regulation, in-hospital clinical outcomes, and severity of coronary artery lesions (Syntax score). The abstract describes a study aiming to assess the incidence and impact of impaired glucose regulation in patients with acute coronary syndromes, but reports no results.
