Associations between the triglyceride-glucose index and the risk of heart failure in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index levels have been shown to be a reliable predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), few studies have investigated their association with heart failure (HF), especially in patients on dialysis. We therefore aimed to investigate the relationship between the TyG index and the incidence of HF in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).

Methods

A total of 183 participants who underwent MHD in the Blood Purification Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from September 2008 to October 2023 were included and followed up until March 2024. The TyG index was calculated as ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting blood glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Participants were divided into two differ
