Blood Sugar and Fat Levels After Heart Attack with Clear Arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study examines whether a simple blood test measuring blood sugar and fat levels (the triglyceride-glucose index) can predict future heart problems in people who have had a heart attack without blocked arteries. The goal is to find better ways to monitor and treat these patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a heart attack (myocardial infarction) but your heart arteries were not significantly blocked (less than 50% narrowing).
- You had symptoms like chest pain, ECG changes, and elevated blood tests for heart damage.
- You had an echocardiogram showing abnormal movement of the heart wall.
- You do not have other serious conditions like a blood clot in the lungs, stroke, severe infection, or acute respiratory distress.
- You do not have a heart muscle disease not caused by blocked arteries (non-ischemic cardiomyopathy).

This study looks at whether a simple blood test (triglyceride glucose index) can help predict how well blocked heart arteries are opened after a heart attack treated with emergency angioplasty. It may help doctors better understand recovery and future risks.
This trial is looking at how a simple blood test (triglyceride-glucose index) relates to complete blockages in heart arteries. It may help find people at higher risk without extra procedures.
This trial studies whether a simple blood test called the triglyceride glucose index can help doctors understand heart artery disease in younger patients who do not have diabetes. It may lead to better ways to assess heart risk and guide treatment.
This study looks at whether an index calculated from blood triglycerides and blood sugar (the triglyceride-glucose index) is linked to how the heart is working in people with obesity. It may help doctors better understand risk for heart problems by using a simple blood test.
This study looks at a simple blood test marker (the TyG index) to see if it can predict how severe your coronary artery disease is. You may qualify if you are an adult with a recent heart attack or stable heart disease and are scheduled for an angiogram.
This study looks at how a simple blood test measure (the triglyceride glucose index) relates to the severity of blockages in heart arteries. It may help doctors understand risk better, especially for people undergoing a heart catheterization.
