High triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is associated with poor prognosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of insulin resistance on the prognosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, an easily calculated marker of insulin resistance, and the long-term prognosis of HFpEF.

Methods

A total of 823 patients with HFpEF were enrolled in the study. The TyG index was determined using the formula ln(fasting triglycerides [mg/dL] × fasting glucose [mg/dL]/2). The primary endpoint was all-cause death. The secondary endpoints were cardiovascular (CV) death and heart failure (HF) rehospitalization. Restricted cubic spline, multivariate Cox proportional hazard models, and competing risk models were used for analyses.

Results

During a median follow-up period of 3.16 years, 147 (17.8%) all-cause deaths, 139 (16.8%) CV deaths, and 222 (27.0%) HF rehospitalizations occurred. Restricted cubic spline analysis revealed a J-shaped association between the TyG index and the mortality and rehospitalization rates. In the multivariate Cox proportional hazard models, compared with those in the lowest TyG index tertile, patients in the highest tertile exhibited the greatest susceptibility to all-cause death (HR 1.53, 95% CI 1.19-1.98) and CV death (HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.19-1.96). In the competing risk model, a significant association between the TyG index and HF rehospitalization was observed (HR 1.31, 95% CI, 1.07-1.61).

Conclusion

A high TyG index is associated with an increased risk of mortality and rehospitalization in patients with HFpEF. The TyG index may serve as a promising prognostic marker for patients with HFpEF.

Project description:BackgroundThe triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is regarded as an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease consequences and a reliable surrogate measure of insulin resistance (IR). However, the correlation analysis between triglyceride glucose index and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in patients with essential hypertension remains unknown.MethodsA single-center, retrospective study was conducted with patients diagnosed with essential hypertension at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, from December 2018 to September 2020. Participants were selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, with their clinical data and laboratory tests collected. The study employed Spearman's correlation analysis, logistic regression models, restricted cubic spline plots, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to investigate the relationships between the TyG index and HFpEF.ResultsOut of 1,602 enrolled hypertensive patients, 992 were included in the analysis after applying exclusion criteria. Patients were categorized into tertiles based on the TyG index, which showed that patients in the highest tertile had characteristics associated with a higher risk of HFpEF, including age, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and left ventricular mass index (LVMI). A significant, independent association between the TyG index and HFpEF was confirmed, with an odds ratio (OR) of 5.127 (95% CI [3.894-6.856]). Furthermore, an S-shaped nonlinear relationship was observed between the TyG index and the incidence of HFpEF (nonlinear p < 0.001). TyG index (AUC: 0.824, 95% CI [0.795-0.854]), NT-proBNP (AUC: 0.840, 95% CI [0.816-0.864]), and LVMI (AUC: 0.847, 95% CI [0.820-0.875]) showed good predictive ability for HFpEF. In addition, the TyG+LVMI combination demonstrated the strongest predictive ability (AUC: 0.907, 95% CI [0.887-0.927]).ConclusionThe study underscores a significant association between IR, as indicated by the TyG index, and the development of HFpEF in hypertensive patients. It highlights the critical role of metabolic dysfunction in the pathophysiology of HFpEF, advocating for a broader perspective on cardiovascular risk management.

Project description:BackgroundThe triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a surrogate indicator of insulin resistance. Therefore, we aimed to determine the association between TyG index and heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and to explore whether such associations would be modified by different metabolic states.MethodsAmong 107,301 CHD patients, 62,794 were included to analyze the relationship between the TyG index and HF. Among them, 8,606 patients who had undergone echocardiography were included to identify different types of HF, including HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), HF with intermediate-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF), and HFpEF. Among them, 1896 patients were diagnosed with HFpEF. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between the TyG index and HFpEF in CHD patients. In addition, the association between TyG index and HFpEF according to sex, age, blood lipids, and blood pressure was assessed.ResultsA baseline analysis of CHD patients divided into four groups according to the tertile level of the TyG index showed significant differences in the related parameters between the groups. In the multi-adjusted models, the TyG index was significantly associated with the risk of HFpEF (odds ratio [OR]: 1.17; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.09-1.25). After adjustment for multivariates, TyG index levels for T2 (OR: 1.33; 95% CI: 1.16-1.52) and T3 (OR: 1.52; 95% CI: 1.32-1.74) were associated with increased OR in HFpEF. In addition, the TyG index of CHD patients was significantly associated with HFpEF in older adults aged > 60 years (OR: 1.20; 95% CI: 1.11-1.29), hypertension (OR: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.17-1.37), and dyslipidemia (OR: 1.15; 95% CI: 1.08-1.24). Moreover, the OR (OR: 1.23; 95% CI: 1.11-1.36) in women is higher than in men (OR: 1.17; 95% CI: 1.02-1.22, indicating a stronger association between TyG index and HFpEF in women.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrated a significant association between TyG index and HFpEF in CHD patients. Furthermore, TyG index was independently associated with HFpEF in hypertension, dyslipidemia, and older patients (aged > 60 years). In addition, the association between the TyG index and HFpEF in CHD patients differed according to sex.

Project description:AimsRelationship between body mass index (BMI), frailty, and clinical adverse events remains unclear in patients with heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in different patient populations. We aimed to compare the association of BMI, frailty, and clinical adverse events between a US cohort from the Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure with an Aldosterone Antagonist (TOPCAT) study and a Chinese cohort from the Heart Failure Registry of Patient Outcomes (HERO) study.Methods and resultsWe used data of 1715 participants enrolled from America in the TOPCAT study and 1487 patients with HFpEF in the Chinese registry study, the HERO. We evaluated the relationship between BMI and frailty using multivariate restricted cubic spline logistic regression. Association between frailty and BMI categories and primary outcomes including HF hospitalization, aborted sudden death, and cardiovascular death, all-cause mortality, and HF hospitalization were analysed by Cox proportional hazards models. The patients' mean age was 72 ± 11 years for both study populations, with 50% and 46% female for the TOPCAT study and the HERO study, respectively. Patients in the TOPCAT study had a higher mean BMI (33.9 vs. 24 kg/m2), with 72.3% vs. 52.9% defined as moderately to severely frail (frailty index > 0.3). In the TOPCAT study, risk of frailty rose as BMI increased, but not in the HERO study. Patients with frailty were at significant higher risk for the primary composite outcomes [hazard ratio (HR) 1.84 (95% confidence interval: 1.46-2.32)], all-cause mortality [HR 1.73 (1.34-2.25)], and HF hospitalization [HR 1.83 (1.40-2.40)] in the TOPCAT study. The corresponding numbers in the HERO study were 1.26 (1.01-1.57), 2.21 (1.45-3.35), and 1.15 (0.81-1.37), respectively. The association of frailty with clinical outcomes did not vary with BMI categories in the two studies.ConclusionsBMI distribution and association between BMI and frailty risk were different between the two study populations. Frailty was associated with clinical adverse events and this association was consistent across different BMI categories in both studies.
