Why the study?
This study evaluated associations of the triglyceride-glucose index and its attendant parameters with asymptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis, and their value for identifying individuals with notable burden.
Does the triglyceride glucose-waist height ratio (TyG-WHtR) associate with the prevalence of asymptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis in adults aged ≥ 40 years?
Does the triglyceride glucose-waist height ratio (TyG-WHtR) associate with the prevalence of asymptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis in adults aged ≥ 40 years?
TyG-WHtR is a superior indicator for identifying early-stage asymptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis compared to TyG alone or other TyG-related indices.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
TyG-WHtR may aid aICAS risk stratification; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
