From the Emergency Department, West Palm Beach Veterans Affairs Hospital, Riviera Beach, Florida, the College of Public Health and the Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, Tampa, the Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, and the James A. Haley Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Tampa, Florida.
Objectives: In the management of cardiovascular disease, it is important to identify patients at risk early on, to provide interventions to prevent the disease and its complications. The goal of our study was to investigate the association between glucose levels and silent myocardial infarction (SMI) among patients, who consisted of veterans within the Veterans Affairs clinical system.
Methods: Among the group of patients with an initially normal electrocardiogram, a cohort of patients with a subsequent diagnosis of SMI was selected as the case cohort, whereas 4 patients for each study subject, without evidence of coronary artery disease and normal electrocardiogram within the previous 6 months, were identified and constituted the control cohort.
