Association of the Triglyceride-Glucose Index With Resistant Hypertension and a Nomogram Model Construction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Resistant hypertension (RH) remains one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This study aims to investigate the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and RH incidence in patients with hypertension and to construct a nomogram for predicting the occurrence of RH.

Methods and results

A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 1635 patients initially diagnosed with hypertension at the Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from August 2019 to August 2021. Patients were followed up for a median of 31 months, with 373 cases (22.81%) developing RH. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and multivariable Cox regression analysis identified the TyG index as the strongest pre
