Aim  As both impaired fasting glucose and silent myocardial ischaemia are risk factors for cardiovascular disease and death, we hypothesized that these risk factors in combination would identify those subjects at the highest risk of adverse events. Methods  Healthy individuals without diabetes (n = 596, 55-75 years) were examined for silent myocardial infarction (≥ 1 mm ST-interval during ≥ 1 min) by ambulant 48-h continuous electrocardiogram monitoring and impaired fasting glucose (fasting plasma glucose 5.6-6.9 mmol/l). Results  After 6.3 years, 77 subjects met the endpoint of myocardial infarction and/or death. The prevalence of silent myocardial ischaemia at inclusion was 12.3% in subjects with impaired fasting glucose and 11.7% in subjects with normal fasting glucose, P = 0.69. Subjects with impaired fasting glucose/silent myocardial ischaemia more often met the endpoint (36%) than subjects with impaired fasting glucose/no silent myocardial ischaemia (15%), subjects with normal fasting glucose/silent myocardial ischaemia (12%), and subjects with normal fasting glucose/no silent myocardial ischaemia (10%), respectively, (P
