We assessed the prevalence and 3-month change in glucose tolerance status in consecutive non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI; European Society of Cardiology 2007 definition) patients (N=49; mean (S.D.) age 65 (11) years) admitted to a coronary care unit, without known diabetes. These patients underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) 36-hour (median, IQR: 18-72) after admission and at 3 months.
