Zusammenfassung:	The fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test is a predictor of complications after Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). However, its prognostic value is not yet fully established in different age groups. To evaluate the role of admission fasting plasma glucose (FPG) as a predictor of 30 days after ACS, and the association of hyperglycemia with major cardiovascular events (MACE): death, reinfarction and coronary artery bypass grafting, in two different age groups (
