Different associations of atherogenic index of plasma, triglyceride glucose index, and hemoglobin A1C levels with the risk of coronary artery calcification progression according to established diabetes
Structured PICO
Are atherogenic index of plasma, triglyceride glucose index, and hemoglobin A1C levels associated with coronary artery calcification progression according to diabetes status?
P
Population
Patients assessed for coronary artery calcification progression, stratified by established diabetes status
I
Intervention
Assessment of atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, and hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) levels
O
Outcome
Coronary artery calcification (CAC) progressionsurrogate
The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index serves as an independent predictor of coronary artery calcification progression regardless of whether a patient has established diabetes.
Abstract
The associations between AIP, TyG index, and HbA1C levels with CAC progression vary according to established diabetes. Of these biomarkers, TyG index is independently associated with CAC progression irrespective of established diabetes.
