Background: Clinical trials had demonstrated that acute ST segment elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) with an abnormal glucose tolerance was risk factor for future cardiovascular events. This study was aimed to analyze the various clinical outcomes, coronary angiographic results and incidence of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) in prediabetic patients presented with STEMI in a tertiary care centre.
