TyG index to predict coronary artery disease severity
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have had a heart attack or unstable angina, or you have stable heart disease and are scheduled for a coronary angiogram.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not received clot-busting medicine (intravenous thrombolysis) before.
- You are not on long-term statins or other cholesterol-lowering drugs.
- You do not have myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle).

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 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.
This trial focuses on people with stable coronary artery disease who are scheduled for planned angioplasty (PCI). It looks for a “precision medicine” approach to identify who may be at risk for a small heart injury around the procedure, so doctors can better prevent it.
This study uses a CT scan of your heart (CCTA) and advanced computer analysis to see how well it can predict heart risks compared to detailed inside-look tests (IVUS, OCT, NIRS). If you have chest pain and have had certain heart scans, this trial may help doctors understand your condition better.
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 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.
