[Prognostic value of first fasting glucose measurement compared with admission glucose level in patients with acute coronary syndrome].

Rev Esp Cardiol. 2008 May;61(5):458-64, PMID: 18462648

The admission plasma glucose (APG) level is a recognized prognostic factor in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, little is known about the prognostic value of the first fasting plasma glucose (FPG) measurement. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of the first FPG measurement relative to that of the APG level in patients with ACS.
