Unknown Glucose Metabolism Disorders In Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Unknown Glucose Metabolism Disorders In Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
This study aimed to examine the prevalence of glucose metabolism disorders (GMD)in the
 patients with coronary artery disease and the relationship between different GMDs and
 coronary artery disease (CAD).
Context: There are more than 220 million people diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM) in the
 world. DM is a serious risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aimed to
 examine the prevalence of glucose metabolism disorders (GMD) in te patients with coronary
 artery disease and the relationship between different GMDs and CAD.

 Settings: 230 patients with coronary artery disease and without any known GMDs were included
 the study. Coronary angiography was used to diagnose CAD. Patients were administered the 75 g
 Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT).
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Patients with coronary artery disease and who had no glucose metabolism disorders were
 included to study.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Patients who had previous GMDs, malignancies, chronic liver and kidney diseases,
 rheumatologic disorders, and a BMI higher than 35 kg/m2 were excluded from the study.
