Authors' conclusion

Both dyslipidemia status and higher TyG index were associated with further deterioration of LV global function and myocardial microvascular function in the context of T2DM. The effects of dyslipidemia and a higher TyG index appear to be differential, which indicates that not only the amount of blood lipids and glucose but also the quality of blood lipids are therapeutic targets for preventing further myocardial damage.

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Β coefficient

- 0.159

95% CI - 0.281, - 0.032

P = 0.014

Left ventricular (LV) global function index (GFI) sequentially decreased in controls, T2DM (DysL-) and T2DM (DysL+)
P < 0.001

Observational data: associations, not effects.

LV remodeling index

No significant difference by dyslipidemia status; dyslipidemia status not independently associated
