Study on the relationship between TyG index and coronary artery calcification
Objective To investigate the relationship between triglyceride-glucose(TyG)index and coronary artery calcification(CAC).Methods A total of 1 572 patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography(CTA)examination were retrospectively included in the study.According to the coronary artery calcium score(CACS),the patients were divided into calcification group(CACS≥1)and non-calcification group(CACS=0).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the influencing factors of CAC.Results Among the 1 572 patients,there were 808 patients with CAC(calcification group);there were 764 patients without CAC(non-calcification group).The proportion of males,age,proportion of hypertension history,proportion of diabetes history,TyG index,fasting blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,blood urea nitrogen,serum creatinine and C-reactive protein levels in the calcification group were higher than those in the non-calcification group(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that age,hypertension history,diabetes history,TyG index,serum creatinine and C-reactive protein were independent risk factors for CAC(P<0.05).Conclusion TyG index is independently associated with the occurrence of CAC,which has a high predictive value for the occurrence of CAC.
