Comparative Study
Glycemic status and incident heart failure in elderly without history of diabetes mellitus: the health, aging, and body composition study.
It is unclear whether measures of glycemic status beyond fasting glucose (FG) levels improve incident heart failure (HF) prediction in patients without history of diabetes mellitus (DM). ⋯ Fasting glucose is a strong predictor of HF risk in elderly without history of DM. Other glycemic measures provide no incremental prediction information.
