Does elevated Triglyceride Glucose Index-Waist Circumference increase the risk of first myocardial infarction in Chinese hypertensive patients with obstructive sleep apnoea?
The TyG-WC index may be a useful biomarker to identify high risk of first myocardial infarction in Chinese hypertensive patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Elevated levels of the baseline TyG-WC are associated with an increased risk of first MI. This finding indicates that the TyG-WC might be useful to identify the high risk of first MI in Chinese hypertensive patients with OSA.
