Why the study?
The study aimed to explore the potential association between surrogate markers for atherosclerosis (the TyG index and AIP) and MACEs in patients with chronic coronary syndrome.

TyG and AIP may aid risk stratification in intermediate-risk CCS; leaves open incremental prognostic value beyond standard factors.
Does a high triglyceride-glucose index predict major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with chronic coronary syndrome?
The triglyceride-glucose index is an independent predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with chronic coronary syndrome, suggesting its utility as a risk stratification marker.
