A Retrospective Study of the Relationship Between the Triglyceride Glucose Index and Myocardial Revascularization for New-Onset Acute Coronary Syndromes

BackgroundThis study explored the relationship between the TyG index/serum uric acid (SUA) panel and myocardial revascularization (MRT) for new-onset acute coronary syndromes (ACS). MethodsBetween January 2011 and July 2020, 13,271 new-onset ACS patients were enrolled. The logistic regression models and the odds ratios (ORs) were used to quantify the risk of TyG index/SUA and MRT. Then, interaction analyses of TyG index and SUA on MRT were applied. ResultsElevated TyG index was positively associated higher risks of MRT. However, SUA levels were negatively associated with MRT. Compared with those in the lowest quartile, the risk of MRT increased gradually among patients in Q1 of the SUA category (OR = 1.03, 1.11, and 1.28 for Q2, Q3, and Q4 of TyG index, respectively), Q2 of the SUA category (OR = 1.41, 1.68, and 2.18 for Q2, Q3, and Q4 of TyG index, respectively), Q3 of the SUA category (OR = 1.05, 1.45, and 1.45 for Q2, Q3, and Q4 of TyG index, respectively), and Q4 of the SUA category (OR = 1.20, 1.29, and 1.46 for Q2, Q3, and Q4 of TyG index, respectively). This pattern was observed in both male and female, as well as patients without type 2 diabetes mellitus. ConclusionPatients with a higher TyG index have a higher proportion of MRT in new-onset ACS. This result also applies to patients with different levels of SUA during new-onset ACS.
