Abstract
BACKGROUND The SYNTAX score is a score that grades the severity and complexity of coronary lesions. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (triglyceride/HDL-C) ratio and SYNTAX scores in patients presenting with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). METHODS This prospective study included 258 patients who presented at our center with STEMI, and underwent coronary angiography (CAG). The triglyceride/HDL-C ratio was calculated, and the relationship of this ratio with the SYNTAX score was determined with univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses. RESULTS The patients were separated into two groups according to the triglyceride/HDL-C ratios as low (<3.88) and high (≥3.88). The SYNTAX scores of the group with a high triglyceride/HDL-C score were determined to be significantly high ( P < 0.001). When the SYNTAX scores were separated into two groups as low (≤22) and high (>23), a statistically significant correlation was determined between a high SYNTAX score and a high triglyceride/HDL-C ratio ( P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis was performed for the SYNTAX score, and the BMI value [odds ratio (OR) = 0.91, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.85-0.98] and the triglyceride/HDL-C ratio (OR = 6.86, 95% CI: 3.45-13.65) alone were determined to be independent determinants of the SYNTAX score. CONCLUSION The most important result obtained from this study was that the triglyceride/HDL-C ratio, which is an index that has recently started to be frequently used, was a marker of greater coronary anatomic complexity (SYNTAX score >22), independently of other parameters in patients who presented with NSTEMI and underwent CAG.

Prognostic value of triglyceride-glucose index in patients with chronic coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:322. [PMID: 38017540 PMCID: PMC10685592 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-02060-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been proposed as a reliable surrogate marker of insulin resistance and an independent predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Several recent studies have shown the relationship between the TyG index and cardiovascular outcomes; however, the role of the TyG index in chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) progression has not been extensively assessed especially in population after revascularization. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the TyG index in predicting MACEs in CCS patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS The data for the study were taken from the Hospital Information System database in China-Japan Friendship Hospital over the period 2019-2021. Eligible participants were divided into groups according to the TyG index tertiles. The Boruta algorithm was performed for feature selection. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis were applied to examine the dose-response relationship between the TyG index and endpoint, and the results were expressed with hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) values. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), decision curve analysis (DCA), and clinical impact curve (CIC) were plotted to comprehensively evaluate the predictive accuracy and clinical value of the model. The goodness-of-fit of models was evaluated using the calibration curve and χ2 likelihood ratio test. RESULTS After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 1353 patients with CCS undergoing PCI were enrolled in the study. After adjusting for all confounders, we found that those with the highest TyG index had a 59.5% increased risk of MACEs over the 1-year follow-up (HR 1.595, 95% CI 1.370 ~ 1.855). Using the lowest TyG index tertile as the reference (T1), the fully adjusted HRs (95% CIs) for endpoints was 1.343 (1.054 ~ 1.711) in the middle (T2) and 2.297 (1.842 ~ 2.864) in highest tertile (T3) (P for trend < 0.001). The TyG index had an excellent predictive performance according to the results of AUC 0.810 (0.786, 0.834) and χ2 likelihood ratio test (χ2 = 7.474, P = 0.486). DCA and CIC analysis also suggested a good overall net benefit and clinical impact of the multivariate model. The results in the subgroup analysis were consistent with the main analyses. RCS model demonstrated that the TyG index was nonlinearly associated with the risk of MACEs within one year (P for nonlinear < 0.001). CONCLUSION The elevated TyG index is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and predicts future MACEs in patients with CCS undergoing PCI independently of known cardiovascular risk factors, indicating that the TyG index may be a potential marker for risk stratification and prognosis in CCS patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The nature of the relationship between baseline platelet count and clinical outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unclear. We undertook dose-response and pairwise meta-analyses to better describe the prognostic value of the initial platelet count and clinical endpoints in patients after PCI. METHODS A search of PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science (up to 9 October 2021) was performed to identify studies that evaluated the association between platelet count and clinical outcomes following PCI. The primary outcomes of interest were all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and major bleeding. We performed random-effects pairwise and one-stage dose-response meta-analyses by calculating HRs and 95% CIs. RESULTS The meta-analysis included 19 studies with 217 459 patients. We report a J-shaped relationship between baseline thrombocyte counts and all-cause death, MACE and major bleeding at follow-up. The risk of haemorrhagic events exceeded the risk of thrombotic events at low platelet counts (<175×109/L), while a predominant ischaemic risk was observed at high platelet counts (>250×109/L). Pairwise meta-analyses revealed a robust link between initial platelet counts and the risk of postdischarge all-cause mortality, major bleeding (for thrombocytopenia: HR 1.39, 95% CI 1.30 to 1.49; HR 1.51, 95% CI 1.15 to 2.00, respectively) and future death from any cause and MACE (thrombocytosis: HR 1.60, 95% CI 1.29 to 1.98; HR 1.47, 95% CI 1.22 to 1.78, respectively). CONCLUSION Low platelet counts were associated with the predominant bleeding risk, while high platelet counts were only associated with the ischaemic events.

Abstract
The ratio of triglyceride (TG)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) has been proposed as an easily obtainable atherogenic marker and high TG/HDL-C ratio is associated with insulin resistance. This study investigated the associated between a high TG/HDL-C ratio and cardiovascular mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), with or without diabetes mellitus (DM).Between January 2005 and December 2014, 1661 patients with STEMI underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention in our hospital. Of these, 289 were classified into group 1 (with both DM and a high TG/HDL-C ratio), 295 into group 2 (with DM, but without a high TG/HDL-C ratio), 501 into group 3 (without DM, but a high TG/HDL-C ratio), and 576 into group 4 (without DM or a high TG/HDL-C ratio).Older age, longer chest pain to reperfusion time, poor hemodynamic condition, and higher prevalence of multiple vessel coronary artery disease were noted in those with DM. Poor outcomes including higher 30-day and 1-year cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality rates were noted in those with DM but without a high TG/HDL-C ratio. Patients with DM but without a high TG/HDL-C ratio had a Hazard ratio of 3.637 for cardiovascular mortality relative to those without DM, but without a high TG/HDL-C ratio.Even though a high TG/HDL-C ratio is associated with insulin resistance, patients with or without DM, but with a high TG/HDL-C ratio had better 30-day and 1-year outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute myocardial injury and heart failure characterized by elevated cardiac troponin and decreased heart pump function are significant clinical features and prognostic factors of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). Triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio is an indicator of insulin resistance. This study aimed to explore the association of the TG/HDL-C ratio with cardiovascular risk and prognosis in COVID-19. METHODS Ninety-eight laboratory-confirmed patients with COVID-19 admitted in a tertiary teaching hospital in Wuhan, China, were enrolled in this retrospective study. Regression models were used to investigate the association between TG/HDL-C ratio with myocardial injury, heart failure, severity, and mortality in COVID-19. RESULTS Among the 98 patients, the mean age was 63.9±1.4 years, and male sex (58, 59%) was predominant. Forty-six patients (47%) were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), 32 (33%) and 46 (47%) patients suffered from myocardial injury and heart failure, respectively, and 36 (37%) patients died. The TG/HDL-C ratio was increased in patients with myocardial injury, heart failure, severe illness, and fatal outcome (P<0.05 for each). Baseline TG/HDL-C ratio significantly correlated with log transformed levels of plasma high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (r=0.251, P=0.018), N-terminal brain natriuretic propeptide (r=0.274, P=0.008), glycated hemoglobin (r=0.239, P=0.038), and interleukin-6 (r=0.218, P=0.042). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that an increased TG/HDL-C ratio was independently associated with the risk of myocardial injury [odds ratio (OR)=2.73; P=0.013], heart failure (OR=2.64; P=0.019), disease severity (OR=3.01; P=0.032), and fatal outcome (OR=2.97; P=0.014). CONCLUSION Increased TG/HDL-C ratio was independently associated with myocardial injury, heart failure, disease severity, and mortality in patients with COVID-19, and it may be a useful marker for early identification of patients with high risk and poor outcome.
