    We assessed the incidence and the prognostic role for early death of acute insulin resistance (by means of homeostatic model assessment [HOMA] index) in 1350 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) consecutively admitted to our intensive cardiac care unit (ICCU). The incidence of HOMA positivity...
