Influence of the Triglyceride-Glucose Index on Adverse Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events in Prediabetic Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
BackgroundCardiovascular disease and insulin resistance are closely related. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is frequently used as an indicator of insulin resistance. However, there is scant information on the TyG index in the prediabetic population,

Prognostic Value of Estimated Glucose Disposal Rate in Patients with Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Background: Estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) is highly associated with all-cause mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) cases undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Nevertheless, eGDR’s prognostic value in non-ST-segment elevation
