Association of triglyceride-glucose index with myocardial injury post-stroke in older patients with first-ever ischemic stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Myocardial injury post-stroke is a common sequela of acute stroke. Triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index), a valuable surrogate indicator of insulin resistance, has been suggested to be closely related to cardiovascular outcomes. However, it is unknown whether the TyG index is independently associated with a higher risk of myocardial injury post-stroke. We therefore investigated the longitudinal association between TyG index and risk of myocardial injury post-stroke in older patients with first-ever ischemic stroke and no prior cardiovascular comorbidities.

Methods

We included older patients with first-ever ischemic stroke and no prior cardiovascular comorbidities between January 2021 to December 2021. The individuals were stratified into low and high TyG index gr
