Summary

This study followed 514 people with stable coronary artery disease for 18 months to see if how their bodies process triglycerides (a type of fat) and sugar is linked to future heart problems or death. Researchers measured fat and sugar tolerance and tracked heart events. The goal was to find out if a fat tolerance test could better identify high-risk patients.
