Abstract
Background: Myocardial infarction, it still continues to be a major health problem worldwide. The aim of the study is to find
out incidence of impaired glucose tolerance in non-diabetic patients with acute coronary syndrome. Methods: The study
includes 50 patients. All the cases and controls were subjected to standard 75 gms. Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)
on admission, at the time of discharge and at three months follow-up and the observations were recorded. Results: Post
prandial blood sugar at time 3 month follow up were 6 (12%) in cases and 9 (18%) in control but not significant statistically.
There were 17 (34%) cases and 7 (14%) in control with IGT values which was statistically significant p= 0.034. Post
prandial blood sugar at time of admission were 131.18 ± 21.52 in cases, 121.86 ± 21.47 in controls and at the time
discharge in cases and controls were 139.10 ± 21.27 and 128.88 ± 9.44 respectively with p=0.003. Conclusion: Patients
with acute coronary syndrome who have IGT on admission have longer hospital stay and more complications related to
acute MI.
