Background: Diabetes mellitus is a major risk element for
cardiovascular disease. In the present study we investigated whether
1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), a new marker for glucose monitoring, can predict
patient outcome following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: A
total of 270 AMI patients who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) at
Beijing Hospital from March 2017 to 2020 were enrolled in this prospective cohort
study. The serum 1,5-AG concentration and biochemical indicators were evaluated
prior to CAG. Cox regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship
between 1,5-AG levels and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events
(MACCEs), and with all-cause mortality. Results: During the median
follow-up period of 44 months, 49 MACCEs occurred and 33 patients died. The
1,5-AG level was significantly lower in the MACCEs group than in the MACCEs-free
group (p = 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis also revealed that low 1,5-AG
levels were associated with MACCEs (p
