Association between the triglyceride–glucose index and left ventricular global longitudinal strain in patients with coronary heart disease in Jilin Province, China: a cross-sectional study
Authors' conclusion
A higher TyG index maybe independently associated with subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in patients with coronary heart disease.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease excluding MI or LV dysfunction, Jilin Province, China
- Participants
- 178 patients
- Exposure
- Higher vs lower triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index
- Outcome
- LV global longitudinal strain (GLS)
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
LV GLS
- Global longitudinal strain (GLS) of LV was lower in the higher TyG index group than in the lower TyG index group
- As the TyG index increases, GLS progressively decreases
- Results remained stable after adjusting for confounding factors
Observational data: associations, not effects.
