Does diabetes status modify the association between the triglyceride-glucose index and major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease? A systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal cohort studies

Authors' conclusion

Higher TyG index values appear to be associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events, all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and revascularization in both diabetic and nondiabetic patients with CHD. However, no significant association was found between the TyG index and the risk of nonfatal stroke in nondiabetic patients. These findings suggest that the TyG index may offer potential prognostic value in CHD, but further high-quality prospective studies are warranted to confirm these associations and clarify their clinical implications.
