ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The Cardiovascular mortality in Diabetics is 2-4 times higher than in Non-diabetic population. But there is still controversy regarding Pre-diabetes (IFG and IGT) as a Cardiovascular Risk Factor. Aims andObjectives:
In this study we aimed to investigate the early in-hospital mortality among Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) patients having Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) during the first 7 days of hospitalization. Materials andMethods:
A total of 150 AMI patients were evaluated and followed up for their glycemic status and early in hospital mortality (first 7 days) at Burdwan Medical College, Burdwan, West Bengal. Result andAnalysis:
Mortality in patients having IFG (18%) was higher and as much as in DM (20%) compared to euglycemic (4%) patients but the mortality is not correlated with mean Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) level.Conclusion:
IFG (ie, pre-diabetes) increases Cardiovascular mortality as much as diabetes. So, IFG may be a marker or risk factor for mortality but lowering FPG in AMI patients is unlikely to yield beneficial effect regarding mortality.
