Abstract

Objective: We evaluated if admissiontriglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) correlated with the anatomical synergy between percutaneous coronary intervention with taxus and cardiac surgery (SYNTAX) score 2 in non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), nondiabetic patients. Methods: SYNTAX score 2 (SSII) was retrospectively evaluated in 260 nondiabetic patients hospitalized with NSTEMI who underwent coronary angiography. The TyG index was calculated using the following equation: log [fasting triglycerides (mg/dl) × fasting glucose (mg/dl)/2]. We stratified patients according to tertiles of SSII (≤21.5, 21.5-30.6, and ≥30.6). These score ranges were defined as SSII low, SSII mid, and SSII high, respectively. Results: the average age of the patients was 57.2 ± 10.9 years; 135 patients (52.2%) were males. The average TyG index was 8.68 ± 0.12, and SSII was 18.9 ± 9.9. A moderate correlation was found between TyG index and SSII (r = 0.347; P < 0.001) and TyG index was independent risk factors for SSII high [odds ratio (OR), 6.0; 95% CI, 2.7-17.0; P < 0.001]. Conclusion: in nondiabetic patients with NSTEMI, TyG index correlated with the SSII.
