The relationship of glucose tolerance to the prevalence of symptoms and ECG signs of coronary heart disease (CHD), and to the 10-yr mortality from all causes, cardiovascular diseases and CHD was investigated in 867 Helsinki policemen aged 40–59 on whom an oral glucose tolerance test was carrie...
For the 3357 men age 40鈥 54 seen at that time, univariate analysis of glucose level and prevalence of ECG abnormalities indicative of coronary heart disease did not indicate a linear relationship. With multivariate analysis, considering also age, systolic blood pressure, relative weight, serum ...
T his study sought to determine the relation between fasting glucose levels, coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors, and the prevalence of CHD in a high-risk group of patients attending a cardiology prevention clinic. The study was designed to address 2 questions. (1) Are increasing fasting...
The associations between glucose intolerance measured at the study entry date and the 23-year incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD), CHD mortality, and total mortality were examined at the Honolulu Heart Program. This prospective study followed a cohort of 8,006 Japanese-American men who were...
Associations of baseline one-hour postload plasma glucose with 22-year coronary heart disease, stroke, cardiovascular diseases, and all cause mortality were assessed in five age-specific cohorts of nondiabetic men and women from the Chicago Heart Association Detection Project in Industry: 10,269 men...
BACKGROUND: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are at high risk of developing congestive heart failure (CHF). However, the relationships between glucose levels and CHF in people with or without a history of DM have not been well characterized. METHODS AND RESULTS: We evaluated the associations...
It is highly expressed in the kidney cortex and localizes on the apical domain of epithelial cells of the proximal tubule (S1/S2 segments) [4, 8]. It is also found in the brain, liver, thyroid, muscle, and heart [44, 50]. SGLT2 has been identified as a kidney-specific transporter....

The objective of the present study is to assess the performance of fasting blood glucose (FBG), postprandial blood glucose (PBG), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) as screening for coronary heart disease (CHD) in an inpatient population undergoing coronary
In the acute phase, irrespectively of the presence of diabetes, a hyperglycemic status is associated with a higher risk of in-hospital death, cardiogenic shock and congestive heart failure, and correlates with a more extensive myocardial damage [23], This association likely reflects a higher degree...
