Association between the Triglyceride-Glucose Index and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in patients with Atrial Fibrillation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The triglyceride and glucose index (TyG), as a surrogate of insulin resistance (IR), is closely associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the association between the TyG index and NAFLD in atrial fibrillation (AF) is unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the association between the TyG index and NAFLD in AF.

Methods

This retrospective study was performed at Nanchang University's Second Affiliated Hospital. The AF patients who were hospitalized from January 2021 to December 2022 were enrolled. The association between the TyG index and NAFLD in AF patients was assessed by logistic regression and restricted cubic spline analysis. The ability of TyG index for identifying NAFLD was estimated by the area under the receiver
