Özet
Aim: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is an important health problem and accurate prognostic evaluations are critical. We aimed to investigate the association between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and coronary complexity in stable CAD patients. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 247 stable CAD patients. The patient group was classified into two groups; group 1: SYNTAX 0, group 2: SYNTAX ≥1. TyG index levels were analysed in these groups. Results: A total of 247 patients were included in the study. Group 1 included 106 patients and, group 2 included 141 patients. Mean age was 68.9 ± 10.6 and 52.2% was male. TyG index was statistically significantly higher in group 2 (p < 0.001).Correlation analysis showed a strong correlation between the TyG index and SYNTAX score (r = 0.303, p < 0.001). Conclusion: It was observed that high TyG index values increased the complexity of lesions in coronary arteries. The TyG index may be used to determine the prognosis of patients.
