Abstract
Aim: Prediabetes is known to be associated with increased cardiovascular diseases (CVD) risk and mortality. It has been reported that more than 70% of pre-diabetic patients develop Diabetes Mellitus (DM). In patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), diabetes increases a 2 to 4 fold risk of adverse cardiovascular events compared to non-diabetic patients. This morbidity-mortality relationship begins in the progression phase from normal glucose tolerance to diabetes. We evaluated the relationship between the presence of pre-diabetes by using hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values and CVD risk in patients presenting with newly diagnosed AMI.
 Methods: This study was a retrospective, single-centre and we examined consecutive patients who underwent coronary angiography with a diagnosis of AMI at our hospital between March 2019 and September 2020. A total of 332 patients with AMI were enrolled; patients were divided into two groups according to their HbA1c levels: non-diabetic group (HbA1c
