The role of fasting glucose, insulin levels, and C-peptide in coronary heart disease (CHD) in non-diabetic individuals remains uncertain. We examined the association between fasting glucose, insulin and C-peptide with the long-term incidence of CHD in Japanese-American men. In 1980-1982, from a random sample of the Honolulu Heart Program men ( = 1378), aged 61-81 years, data on several CHD and metabolic risk factors were obtained to examine the relation of fasting glucose, insulin and C-peptide to 19-year CHD incidence.

Objectives: This study was designed to assess the prognostic significance of hyperglycemia in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the thrombolytic era using contemporary criteria for hyperglycemia.

Background: Most studies that have examined this issue were performed before the widespread use of disease-modifying therapies and varied in their definition of hyperglycemia, assessment of risk factors, and reported outcomes.

Methods: There were 1,664 consecutively hospitalized patients with AMI between October 1997 and October 1998 from a disease-specific, population-based registry.
