Prospective cohort study reveals correlations between triglyceride-glucose index and mortality risks in CAD patients, suggesting its prognostic value.
Key Points
Higher triglyceride-glucose index correlates with increased risks of all-cause death and cardiovascular disease death in coronary artery disease patients.
The study showed a 1.34-fold risk increase for all-cause death and a 1.99-fold increase for cardiovascular disease death in the highest triglyceride-glucose index tertile.
Cox proportional hazards models indicated that the triglyceride-glucose index is an independent risk factor for all-cause death and cardiovascular disease death.
Findings suggest that the triglyceride-glucose index is a robust biomarker for cardiovascular risks, particularly in patients with chronic coronary syndrome.
