Association between the triglyceride-glucose index and the presence and prognosis of coronary microvascular dysfunction in patients with chronic coronary syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a strong determinant of prognosis in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index), an alternative method to evaluate insulin resistance, is positively correlated with the incidence and adverse outcomes of cardiovascular diseases. However, the relationship between the TyG index and the presence and prognosis of CMD in CCS patients has not been investigated. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the association between the TyG index and the presence and clinical outcomes of CMD among CCS patients.

Methods

CCS patients who underwent coronary angiography between June 2015 to June 2019 were included. The TyG index was calculated as Ln[fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting blood glucose
