Association between triglyceride glucose index and adverse cardiovascular prognosis in patients with atrial fibrillation without diabetes: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Triglyceride glucose index (Tyg), a convenient evaluation variable for insulin resistance, has shown associations with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, studies on the Tyg index's predictive value for adverse prognosis in patients with AF without diabetes are lacking.

Methods

This retrospective study utilized electronic medical records to collect data on patients with AF hospitalized at West China Hospital from January to June 2020. Participants were categorized into three groups based on their Tyg index levels. The primary outcome, major adverse cardiovascular events, included cardiac death, stroke, and myocardial infarction. Kaplan-Meier curve, Cox proportional ha
