Does a higher Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index predict higher risk, greater severity, and worse prognosis of coronary artery disease?
The TyG index is a valuable prognostic and risk assessment tool for the management of patients with coronary artery disease.
The TyG index is a simple new synthetic index that has been proven to be a valuable tool in the whole-course management of CAD patients. Patients with higher TyG index levels are at a higher risk of CAD, more severe coronary artery lesions, and worse prognosis compared to those with lower TyG index levels.
