High triglyceride-glucose index is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes in Chinese acute coronary syndrome patients without diabetes mellitus who underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous research has supported the association between the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) and the incidence and prognosis of cardiovascular disease. However, the association between the TyG index and the prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) without diabetes mellitus (DM) who underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DESs) has not been thoroughly investigated, and these patients may easily be neglected. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between the TyG index and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) in Chinese ACS patients without DM who underwent emergency PCI with DES.

Methods

The total number of ACS patients without DM who underwent emerg
