Summary
This study looked at 514 people with stable coronary artery disease to see if how their body processes fat after a meal (triglyceride tolerance) is linked to future heart attacks or death. Researchers also checked blood sugar tolerance. The goal was to find a better way to identify high-risk patients. No new treatment was tested; this was purely an observational study.
