Does the TyG index predict coronary heart disease risk and coronary artery sclerosis severity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea?
The TyG index may serve as a useful surrogate marker to predict coronary heart disease risk and atherosclerosis severity in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.
TyG index is a risk factor for CHD in OSA cases and reflects the severity of coronary atherosclerosis. TyG, a surrogate indicator for IR evaluation, may help predict CHD in OSA cases, especially in moderate to severe OSA.
