Triglyceride glucose index in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention predicts cardiovascular events: a cohort study
Cohort study reveals TyG index notably predicts major adverse cardiovascular events in ACS patients undergoing PCI, suggesting its use as a risk indicator.
Key Points
The study found a significant association between the TyG index and major adverse cardiovascular events in ACS patients.
Specifically, a higher TyG index increases the risk of both cardiovascular death and all-cause death.
This analysis utilized multivariate Cox proportional hazards models to assess risk over a 1-year follow-up period.
These findings support the TyG index as a potential therapeutic target for managing cardiovascular disease.
