Association between triglyceride-glucose index and atrial fibrillation: A retrospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Insulin resistance is associated with atrial remodeling as well as atrial fibrillation (AF). However, there was limited evidence on the relationship of triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) index, a simple, valuable marker of insulin resistance, with AF. Thus, we aimed to investigate the association between TyG index and AF among hospitalized patients.

Methods

A retrospective observational study was conducted in Daping Hospital, which included 356 hospitalized patients from the Department of Cardiology. Clinical and biochemical parameters were collected from electronic medical records and AF was diagnosed from electrocardiogram (ECG) findings.

Results

We found that the TyG index was significantly higher in the AF group than in the group without AF. Multivariate
