Key result
The Triglyceride-Glucose index showed no statistically significant association with coronary artery disease complexity as assessed by the SYNTAX score in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Why the study?
No study had investigated the relationship between the triglyceride glucose index and the SYNTAX score in acute coronary syndrome.
Does the Triglyceride-Glucose Index correlate with the SYNTAX Score in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome?
Observational (n=214)
No
Does the Triglyceride-Glucose Index correlate with the SYNTAX Score in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome?
This study evaluates the triglyceride-glucose index as a potential novel marker for coronary anatomic severity and complexity assessed by the SYNTAX score in acute coronary syndrome.
TyG index may correlate with anatomic complexity; leaves open whether it refines SYNTAX-based revascularization decisions.

Özmen et al. (2024) conducted an observational in Acute Coronary Syndrome (n=214). Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) index vs. SYNTAX score categories (low, intermediate, high) was evaluated on Association between TyG index and SYNTAX score (p=0.312). The Triglyceride-Glucose index showed no statistically significant association with coronary artery disease complexity as assessed by the SYNTAX score in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
