Core Tip	Atrial fibrillation (AF) and prediabetes share common pathophysiological mechanisms with endothelial dysfunction and inflammation playing a key role. A vicious cycle is thus set up culminating in higher atherogenicity and thermogenicity of the vascular system. Desai et al retrospectively studied the impact of prediabetes amongst AF patients being admitted to hospitals following a major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular event (MACCE). They found prediabetes to an independent risk factor for MACCE after adjusting for all confounding variables. In this letter we appraise the study, critically analyze its clinical value and highlight the key limitations.
