Validity of the Triglyceride-Glucose Indices for Predicting the Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients With Nondiabetic Chronic Coronary Syndrome.

Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index was shown to be an independent predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD) progression and prognosis. However, whether the TyG index can predict the severity of CAD in nondiabetic patients with chronic coronary syndrome remains unclear.

Methods: A total of 118 individuals who underwent elective coronary angiography were classified into group A (59 with coronary lesions) and group B (59 with normal coronary arteries; as a control group) after coronary angiography and laboratory tests for fasting and the postprandial (PP) TyG index.

LncRNA-GAS5 and β-Catenin as Independent Predictors of Asymptomatic Organ Damage in Nondiabetic Hypertensive Patients.

Hypertension is a serious medical condition that can increase the risk of developing heart, brain, kidney, and other diseases. Many asymptomatic hypertension patients experience asymptomatic organ damage (AOD). The purpose of this study was to determine the roles of LncRNA-GAS5 and β-catenin in predicting AOD in hypertensive nondiabetic patients.

The Role of the Platelet/Lymphocyte Ratio and Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio in Predicting High-Risk Heart Score in Patients Admitted with Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Background: For cardiologists, management of acute chest pain continues to be a challenge. Physicians struggle to avoid unnecessary admissions and at the same time not to miss high-risk patients needing urgent intervention. Therefore, diagnostic strategies focus on identifying patients in whom an acute coronary syndrome can be safely ruled out based on findings from history, physical examination, and early cardiac marker measurement.
