Cardiovasc Diabetol: Correlation between triglyceride glucose index and carotid plaque in patients with coronary heart disease under different glucose metabolism status

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a chronic non-communicable disease (NCD) with extremely high morbidity and mortality

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a chronic non-communicable disease (NCD) with extremely high morbidity and mortality

The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is a valuable biomarker for the development of diabetes and is used as a marker of insulin resistance (IR), leading to the development of NCD

Objective: This study aimed to clarify the relationship between TyG index and CAP in patients with coronary heart disease under different glucose metabolism status, and to further study the relationship between TyG index and CAP in different gender and age stratification

Methods: 10,535 patients with coronary heart disease were analyzed according to the quartile method of TyG index (Q1: TyG index < 8.

Results: Baseline analysis showed that patients with coronary heart disease were divided into four groups according to the quartiles of the TyG index, with significant differences in related parameters
