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

Overview

TyG index may aid risk stratification in CHF with T2D; leaves open incremental value and prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Does a higher triglyceride glucose (TyG) index predict cardiovascular death or heart failure rehospitalization in patients with chronic heart failure and type 2 diabetes?

P
Population
546 patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and type 2 diabetes from a single center in Shenzhen, China
I
Intervention
High triglyceride glucose (TyG) index (T3 group: TyG index ≥ 9.06)
C
Comparator
Low triglyceride glucose (TyG) index (T1 group: TyG index < 8.55)
O
Outcome
Composite of cardiovascular death or rehospitalization for heart failurecomposite

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.
