TyG-BMI Index linearly associated with degree of complex coronary artery disease in female ACS patients: Study
A recent study, conducted at the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University, sheds light on the relationship between the Triglyceride-Glucose-Body Mass Index (TyG-BMI) index and the extent of coronary artery disease in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The findings offer valuable insights into potential risk markers for cardiovascular complications. This study was published in the journal BMC Cardiovascular Diabetology by Xueyuan Yang and colleagues.
The study included 2,317 ACS patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. The key findings of the study were:
Association with Coronary Artery Disease:
• TyG-BMI index was significantly associated with mid/high SYNTAX score in ACS patients.
• Odds Ratio (OR): 1.0041; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.0000-1.0079; p = 0.0310.
Subgroup Analyses (Female ACS Patients):
• TyG-BMI index identified as an independent risk factor for mid/high SYNTAX score.
