Abstract
The present study was designed to reveal the incidence of silent myocardial ischemia in asymptomatic elderly patients with impaired fasting glucose. Abnormal perfusion pattern was found in 13 of 48 (27.1%), who were finally considered to have a SMI. The evidence suggests that early and intensive detection may be needed as a part of routine care for this group.
