- Abstract
The article discusses the cardiovascular risk associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) by referring to studies which revealed that nondiabetic levels of glucose metabolism are linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and poor prognosis. Topics include a study on the impact of prediabetic status on coronary atherosclerosis in patients with first-time acute coronary syndrome, pathophysiologic defects underlying prediabetes and cardiovascular disease, and in-hospital mortality.
