Why the study?
The study aimed to evaluate the relation of the triglyceride/glucose index with the severity of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing PCI after presenting with angina pectoris.
Does the triglyceride/glucose index correlate with the severity of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention?
Does the triglyceride/glucose index correlate with the severity of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention?
TyG index may mark CAD severity in PCI patients; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Objective: With this study, we aimed to establish the relation of the triglyceride/glucose index with the severity of coronary artery disease in the patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention after having been hospitalized in cardiology clinic upon applying to the emergency service with angina pectoris. Material and Methods:This study was performed on 416 patients who applied to the Emergency Service of Ufuk University Faculty of Medicine Dr. Rdvan Ege Hospital, with angina pectoris symptom between 01.01.2018 and 31.12.2021.Patients' triglyceride/glucose index on the date when coronary angiography was performed was calculated by scanning the laboratory workups retrospectively.The coronary angiography reports of the patients were scanned and SYNTAX score was calculated. Results:The age average of 416 patients who were included into the study is 61.7411.21(minimum: 35-maximum: 89).66.3% of the patients were male and 9.6% were in the high risk group according to the SYNTAX score.TyG index increases by SYNTAX risk group, TyG index of those z Ama: Bu alma ile gs ars ikayeti ile acil servise bavurup kardiyoloji kliniine yatrlarak perktan koroner giriim yaplan hastalarda trigliserit/glukoz (TyG) indeksinin koroner arter hastal ciddiyeti ile ilikisini saptamay amaladk.
