CAD - Coronary Artery Disease, Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO), Triglycerid Glucose Index
Conditions
Brief summary
We retrospectively analyzed 200 CAD patients undergoing coronary angiography between 2026-2027. Patients were grouped by CTO presence. Clinical and laboratory parameters were compared, and logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTtriglyceride-glucose (TyG) index was calculated from routinely obtained blood samples using the formula: Triglyceride (mg/dL) × Glucose (mg/dL) / 2.
As no previous studies have demonstrated the predictive value of the TyG index for chronic total occlusion (CTO), the present investigation provides a novel contribution to the literature. We hypothesize that the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index will be significantly higher in patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) compared to those without CTO.
