Does the TyG index or HGI better predict cardiovascular outcomes in T2DM patients with new-onset, stable CAD?
The TyG index may serve as a superior prognostic marker compared to the haemoglobin glycation index for predicting cardiovascular risk in patients with T2DM and new-onset stable CAD.
Both TyG index and HGI could predict cardiovascular outcomes in T2DM patients with new-onset, stable CAD while TyG index might be better. Key messages Both TyG and HGI are predictors of cardiovascular risk. The prognostic value of TyG index and HGI in T2DM patients with stable coronary artery disease is not determined. Our study firstly indicates that TyG index might have better prognostic value than HGI in T2DM patients with new-onset, stable CAD.
