Why the study?
Coronary artery disease necessitates assessing plaque formation risk using atherogenic indices, but the relationship between the triglyceride-total cholesterol-body weight index and stenosis severity remains unclear.
Do atherogenic indices and TCBI correlate with the severity of coronary artery stenosis in patients undergoing angiography?
Do atherogenic indices and TCBI correlate with the severity of coronary artery stenosis in patients undergoing angiography?
Atherogenic indices such as AIP, CRI-I, and CRI-II in women, and AC in men, are significantly associated with the severity of coronary artery stenosis, whereas TCBI is not.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet change practice for stenosis assessment; leaves open sex-specific atherogenic index utility and TCBI's anatomic role.
Imannezhad et al. (2025) studied this question.
