Abstract :
Silent myocardial ischemia detected by exercise treadmill or pharmacologic sestamibi stress testing was present in 67 of 196 patients (34%) who had diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance and in 89 of 640 patients (14%) who had normal glucose tolerance (p <0.001). Among those who had diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance, silent myocardial ischemia was present in 27 of 54 patients (50%) who had a hemoglobin A1c level ≥7.6% and in 39 of 137 patients (28%) with a hemoglobin A1c level <7.6% (p <0.005).
