Abstract

Prediabetes in the form of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is common among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). IGT in patients admitted for ACS is associated with increased mortality. We aimed to determine the prevalence of prediabetes in the form of IGT among ACS patients who were known to be neither diabetic nor prediabetic and referred to early coronary angiography. The study included 284 participants. We divided into 2 groups: patients group and control group. The patients group were include 138 patients admitted in AL-Hussein teaching hospital with acute coronary syndrome in the form of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). 98 patients with NSTEMI and 40 patients with STEMI. The control group were 146 participants in the form of medical staff and patients visiting the hospital with conditions other than the ischemic coronary artery disease. All participants were neither diabetic nor prediabetic. 2 hour post prandial blood sugar, blood sugar at 3 days and blood sugar after 6 weeks were done. 22% of the patients group and 6% of the control group were found to have IGT at 2 hour postprandial with highly statistically significant value (P value < 0.0001). 16.6% of the patients group and 7.5% of the control group were found to have IGT at 3 days after the admission with highly statistically significant value (P value < 0.001). 11% of the patients group and 2% of the control group were found to have IGT after 6 weeks of the presentation with also significant statistical value (P value < 0.005). IGT was found in 62% of the female and 38% of the male in patients group. 42% of NSTEMI and 28% of STEMI patients were ended with early percutaneous coronary angiography. There were 11 patient with IGT in the patients group died during the first week of presentation in comparison to 2 patients with normal sugar died during the same period with highly statistically significant value (P value < 0.0001). IGT is common in patients admitted with ACS. IGT is associated with higher mortality among those patients with previously unreported as diabetes mellitus and should be screened for.
