Is the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index associated with chest pain incidence and all-cause mortality in the U.S. population?
The TyG index may serve as a useful biomarker for predicting the risk of chest pain and all-cause mortality in the general population.
The TyG index was positively linked to a higher incidence of chest pain. Moreover, the TyG index was associated with all-cause mortality not only in participants with chest pain but also in those without chest pain.
