In men with established cardiovascular disease, the effect of diets with high glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that diets with higher GI and GL are associated with increased mortality in men with established cardiovascular disease. ⋯ In this population of men with prior cardiovascular disease, dietary GI and GL were not associated with cardiovascular or all-cause mortality.
