Assessing the association between triglyceride-glucose index and atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An essential relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and atrial fibrillation (AF) has been demonstrated. Among the methods used to assess IR, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is the more straightforward, dimensionless, and low-cost tool. However, the possible usage of this index in clinical practice to predict and diagnose AF has yet to be determined and consolidated.

Objective and rationale

Herein, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the association between the TyG index and AF.

Methods

Databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science) were systematically searched for studies evaluating the TyG index in AF. The inclusion criteria were observational studies investigating AF and TyG index correlation in individuals olde
