Triglyceride glucose index for predicting cardiovascular outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease

Triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is a novel marker for metabolic disorders and recently it has been reported to be associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in apparently healthy individuals. However, the prognostic value of TyG index in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) is not determined.We conducted a nested case-control study among 3,745 patients with stable CAD.
