Abstract:BackgroundThe triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is an effective method for determining insulin resistance (IR). Limited research has explored the connection between the TyG index and functionally significant stenosis in hypertensive patients. Furthermore, the connections between the TyG index, fat attenuation index (FAI) and atherosclerotic plaque characteristics are also worth exploring.MethodsThe study screened 1622 hypertensive participants without coronary artery disease history who underwent coronary compu… Show more
