Association Between Triglyceride Glucose Index and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease

Study of The Association Between Triglyceride Glucose Index and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a chronic cardiovascular disease occurring due to atherosclerotic occlusion of the coronary arteries (1).

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the most severe type of Coronary artery disease including unstable angina(UA) , St -elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) Non ST elevation mayocardial infarction (NSTEMI) (2).

Despite the use of current guidline-recommended therapeutics including Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary Artery bypass Grafting (CABG) and optimal drug treatments some patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) remain at high risk for recurrent Cardio vascular events(3).

Triglyceride glucose index (TYG) has a good potential in predicting poor cardiovascular prognosis in patients with IHD (4).

Inclusion Criteria:

- This study will be conducted on patients investigated for IHD by coronary angiography at coronary catheterization unit at sohag university hospital

Exclusion Criteria:

• 1- Patients younger than 18 years. 2- Patients with malignant tumor disease . 3- Patients with infectious or sever liver or kidney disease . 4- Patients lacked data on HbA1c,FPG,TG.
