Does diabetes status modify the association between the triglyceride-glucose index and major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease? A systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal cohort studies
Systematic review reveals diabetes influences the relationship between triglyceride-glucose index and major adverse cardiovascular events in coronary heart disease patients.
Key Points
Higher triglyceride-glucose index values increase risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in both diabetic and nondiabetic patients with coronary heart disease.
In diabetic patients, the hazard ratio for major adverse cardiovascular events is 1.98, indicating a substantial risk increase with higher triglyceride-glucose index.
The study included 36 longitudinal cohort studies with 173,851 participants examining cardiovascular risks associated with triglyceride-glucose index.
Results point to the potential prognostic value of the triglyceride-glucose index in coronary heart disease management, especially for patients with diabetes.
