High Triglyceride-Glucose Index is Associated with Poor Cardiovascular Outcomes in Nondiabetic Patients with ACS with LDL-C below 1.8 mmol/L.

CONCLUSIONS: In nondiabetic patients with ACS with LDL-C below 1.8 mmol/L, a high TyG index level was associated with higher incidence of AMI, larger infarct size, and higher incidence of revascularization. A high TyG index level might be a valid predictor of subsequent revascularization. PMID: 33536384 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
