title: [The evolution of glucose metabolic parameters in patients with chronic myocardial infarct who have undergone physical training].
abstract: Diabetes mellitus represents an important cardio-vascular risk factor, including patients with chronic myocardial infarction.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The objectives of the study is to assess the influence of the long-term physical training upon some parameters of glucidic metabolism.
  
  
  METHODS
  There have been studied 132 patients with chronic myocardial infarction, mean age 51.4 +/- 8.5 years, for underwent regularly physical training at 60-70% from maximal cardiac rate achieved at the exercise testing. Another group (51 patients) did not followed the training. There have been studied blood glucose à jeun and patients with normal values followed the ingestion of 75 g glucose. There were following categories: normal; know diabetes mellitus (DM); DM revealed at the loading test; impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and hyperinsulinism. Patients were included one of these categories at the beginning and the control.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results are summarised in the following table: [table: see text] The group who did not follow physical training revealed an increased frequency of IGT and DM.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The physical training has a protective role preventing the development of the alterations of glucidic metabolism.
