Abstract:
Objective To investigate the timing and security of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods Two hundred and thirty-two hospitalized patients with ACS were collected from Jan.2007 to Jan.2012.OGTT was undergone in a stable condition at 3 months after being discharged,noting ECG and change of symptoms in patients.Results There was no significant difference in test results of proportions of patients with normal blood sugar [40.95% (95/232) vs.39.91% (89/215),x2 =0.051,P > 0.05 ],diabetes [ 25.00% (58/232) vs.22.33% (48/215),x2 =0.032,P > 0.05 ],impaired glucose tolerance [ 34.05% (79/232) vs.33.95% ( 73/215 ),x2 =0.001,P > 0.05 ],and impaired fasting glucose [2.59% (6/232) vs.2.33% (5/215),x2 =0.441,P >0.05 ] at 3 months after discharge compared with before discharge when patients were in stable conditions.No significant difference was found on ST segment ECG [ (-0.12 ±0.08 ) mV vs.(-0.15 ± 0.12) mV,t =0.23,P =0.85].Adverse symptoms were not found during the OGTT examination.Conclusion Patients with ACS have a high risk of abnormal glucose metabolism.Undergoing OGTT is safe for stable status patients with ACS.OGTT should be conducted as the routine exam.Early detection and appropriate intervention and treatment are necessary for patients with abnormal glucose metabolism.
