Correlation between triglyceride-glucose index and left ventricular hypertrophy in female non-diabet-ic patients with hypertension
Objective:To discuss the correlation between triglyceride-glucose(TyG)index and left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH)in female non-diabetic hypertensive patients.Methods:A total of 133 female non-diabetic hypertensive patients were included in this retrospective study.Pearson correlation analysis was performed to analyze factors related to left ventricular mass index(LVMI),and the influencing factors of LVH were ob-tained by binary logistic regression analysis.ROC curve was used to analyze the cut-off value,sensitivity and specificity of TyG index predicting LVH.Results:In female non-diabetic hypertensive patients,LVMI was high-er in the group with high TyG index,compared with the group with low TyG index.Pearson correlation analy-sis showed that LVMI was positively correlated with TyG index,systolic blood pressure and nocturnal diastol-ic blood pressure(P<0.05).Binary logistic regression analysis showed that TyG index and nocturnal systolic blood pressure were predictors of LVH(OR=3.486,95%CI:1.417~8.577;OR=1.048,95%CI:1.019~1.077).The AUC of TyG index combined with nocturnal systolic blood pressure predicting LVH was 0.75(95%CI:0.659~0.847),the sensitivity was 64.7%,the specificity was 76.8%.Conclusion:In female non-diabetic hypertensive patients,TyG index as well as nocturnal systolic blood pressure were positively correlated with left ventricular mass index,meanwhile,could be used as predictors of left ventricular hypertrophy.
