Why the study?
The prognostic value of the triglyceride glucose index in patients with chronic heart failure and type 2 diabetes remains unclear.
Does a higher triglyceride glucose (TyG) index predict cardiovascular death or heart failure rehospitalization in patients with chronic heart failure and type 2 diabetes?
Population
546 patients with CHF and type 2 diabetes
Comparison
Groups by TyG index: T1 (< 8.55) vs T2 (≥ 8.55 and < 9.06) vs T3 (≥ 9.06)
Design
Retrospective cohort study

TyG index may aid risk stratification in CHF with T2D; leaves open incremental value and prospective validation.
Does a higher triglyceride glucose (TyG) index predict cardiovascular death or heart failure rehospitalization in patients with chronic heart failure and type 2 diabetes?
A higher triglyceride glucose index is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death or heart failure rehospitalization in patients with chronic heart failure and type 2 diabetes.
