High triglyceride–glucose index is associated with poor prognosis in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention
Cardiovascular Diabetology Nov 23, 2019
Luo E, Wang D, Yan G, et al. - Researchers evaluated the prognostic value of triglyceride–glucose index (TyG index) index in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). For this work, they divided 1,092 STEMI patients who underwent PCI into 4 quartiles according to TyG index levels. STEMI patients with TyG index levels in the highest quartile indicated a higher incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCEs) and all-cause mortality within 30 days, 6 months and 1 year after PCI. Finding for the first time indicated a correlation of higher TyG index levels with increased risk of MACCEs in STEMI patients. They suggest the possible utility of TyG index as a valid predictor of clinical outcomes in STEMI patients undergoing PCI.
