Discordance between the triglyceride glucose index and fasting plasma glucose or HbA1C in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention predicts cardiovascular events: a cohort study from China.

Patients with a discordantly high TyG index had a significantly greater risk of cardiovascular events regardless of diabetes status. The TyG index might be a better predictor of cardiovascular risk than FPG or HbA1C for patients with ACS undergoing PCI. This discordance may support better cardiovascular risk management regardless of diabetes status.
