Prediabetes and long-term outcomes in patients with three-vessel coronary artery disease: A large single-center cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

Whether detection of prediabetes by routinely testing hemoglobin A_1c and fasting plasma glucose in three-vessel disease patients could identify individuals at high risk of future cardiovascular disease events remains unclear. This study evaluated the relationship between different glycemic status and clinical outcomes in this specific population.

Materials and methods

This study included 8,891 Chinese patients with three-vessel disease. Patients were categorized according to their glycemic status (normoglycemia [NG], n = 3,195; prediabetes, n = 1,978; diabetes mellitus, n = 3,718).

Results

The median follow-up time was 7.5 years, during which 1,354 deaths and 2,340 major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events occurred. Compared with th
