Coronary artery disease severity prediction by the use of Triglyceride-glucose index marker

Abstract

Background: Coronary artery disease is a prevalent cardiac condition that affects millions of people worldwide and is one of the leading causes of morbidity and death.Triglyceride-Glucose Index  is a  thorough statistical
metric that accounts for both fasting triglyceride and fasting glucose levels
.  It  may  be  used  in  a  variety  of  applications   clinical  settings  and epidemiological research since it is easy to calculate and has less time and
expense limits making it appropriate for large populations
Patient and methods:  This research  case control study carried out at Al Mosul  Center  for  Cardiology  and  Cardiac  Surgery.  It  involved  120
patients, included  40 control  samples  and  80  patients with coronary artery disease .
Results : The triglyceride-glucose index , total cholesterol found to be strongly associated with the severity of coronary artery disease. Good ability to distinguish between the studied groups is demonstrated by the Receiver  Operating  Characteristic  analysis  of  the  triglyceride-glucose index.An elevated triglyceride-glucose index was linked to a higher risk of multi-vessel coronary artery disease
