Early markers of cardiovascular damage according to 1 h postload plasma glucose and glucose tolerance.
| NGT 1 h <155 mg/dL (n = 123) | NGT 1 h ≥155 mg/dL (n = 84) | IFG/IGT (n = 75) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| IMT (mm) | 0.69 (0.56–0.71) | 0.78 (0.68–0.83) * | 0.83 (0.71–0.92) *# |
| PWV (cm/sec) | 7.22 ± 1.6 | 7.7 ± 1.4 * | 8.2 ± 1.6 *# |
| Aug P (mmHg) | 9.2 ± 6.5 | 11.6 ± 6.1 * | 12.7 ± 6.1 * |
| Aug I (%) | 25.2 ± 12 | 28.6 ± 11.7 * | 30.6 ± 11.7 * |
| SEVR (%) | 162 ± 27.7 | 158 ± 30.8 | 158.2 ± 32.3 |
Data are presented as mean ± SD or median (IQR). NGT, normotolerant and normal fasting glucose; IFG/IGT, impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance; IMT, intima–media thickness; PWV, pulse wave velocity; Aug P, augmentation pressure; Aug I, augmentation index; SEVR, subendocardial viability ratio. *p < 0.05 vs. NGT 1 h < 155 mg/dL; #p < 0.05 vs. NGT 1 h ≥155 mg/dL.
