Investigation of impaired glucose regulation in coronary heart disease patients without abnormal glucose metabolism

Objective:To investigate the clinical conditions of glucose metabolism abnormality in inpatients without abnormal glucose metabolism.Methods:Two hours postprandial blood glucose and oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) were detected in 150 coronary heart disease inpatients without abnormal glucose metabolism.Results:In these inpatients,the prevalence of diabetes,impaired glucose regulation,and abnormal glucose metabolism via OGTT were 21.3%,36.0%,and 57.3% respectively.However,81.5% patients with impaired glucose tolerance and 75.0% patients with diabetes would be missed diagnosed if only via fasting blood glucose.Conclusion:More than half of coronary heart disease inpatients without abnormal glucose metabolism were complicated with abnormal glucose metabolism after OGTT.Therefore,it was reasonable to detect OGTT in outpatients and inpatients in cardiovascular department.
