The evaluation of the triglyceride glucose index in symptomatic patients with high suspicion of coronary artery disease: A single center study

Triglyceride glucose index (TyG) plays an important role in metabolic syndrome (MetS), which predisposes to the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Mostly, association between TyG and coronary artery disease (CAD) has been investigated healthy individuals on long-term follow-up or asymptomatic patients with a mild mild-moderate risk profile. However, there are few studies evaluating CAD symptomatic patients. In hence, we aimed determine presence severity high suspicion this study. 100 who underwent angiography were included divided into two groups according CAD. was calculated by formula Ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dl) fasting (mg/dl)/2]. The assessed angiographic scores GENSINI, SYNTAX I, number diseased vessels. did not differ significantly without Also, no significant correlation (for all p>0.05) multiple logistic regression analysis, only independent predictor age. (p=0.03, OR=1.048, 95% CI=1.004-1.094) conclusion, may be useful marker for predicting According results study, age is causes.
