Article Synopsis
- The Triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) serves as a marker for insulin resistance and may predict the risk of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
- A study involving 13,542 patients showed that higher TyG levels, particularly in the fourth quartile, significantly correlated with an increased risk of MACCE, such as heart attacks and strokes.
- In contrast, no significant association was found between TyG levels and MACCE in a subgroup of patients who were euglycemic, suggesting the need for further studies to confirm these findings for better clinical risk assessment.
Background: The latest guidelines advocate for catheter ablation (CA) over standard medical therapy (SMT) for managing atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, significant knowledge gaps exist regarding the effectiveness of CA vs. SMT in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
