Background: Serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (gGT) predicts incident cardiovascular disease and mortality. The present study examined whether gGT also is associated with prognosis in patients with stable coronary heart disease. Methods: This study included 1152 participants (aged 30–70 years at baseline) of an in-patient rehabilitation programme after acute coronary syndrome, recruited in two rehabilitation clinics in Germany in the years 1999–2000 (KAROLA study).
