Why the study?
Cross-sectional studies link insulin resistance with arterial stiffness, but the relationship between insulin resistance and arterial stiffness progression remains unclear.
Are the TyG index and TG/HDL-C ratio associated with arterial stiffness progression in a non-normotensive population?
Are the TyG index and TG/HDL-C ratio associated with arterial stiffness progression in a non-normotensive population?
The TyG index and TG/HDL-C ratio, markers of insulin resistance, are significantly associated with arterial stiffness progression in hypertensive, but not prehypertensive, populations.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
TyG and TG/HDL-C track stiffness progression in hypertensives; leaves open predictive value and therapeutic targeting.
