Triglyceride glucose index and heart artery disease severity
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are being checked for heart disease (ischemic heart disease) with a coronary angiogram (a special X-ray of your heart arteries).
- You do not currently have a malignant (cancerous) tumor.
- You do not have a severe infection, serious liver disease, or serious kidney disease.
- You have blood test results for HbA1c, fasting blood sugar, and triglycerides.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 trial looks at people with a blockage in a heart artery of 50% or more. It tests a new way to check the blockage using a special CT scan. This could help decide the best treatment to prevent future heart problems.
This study looks at how likely people are to have coronary artery disease (heart artery blockage) based on results from CT scans. It may help doctors better estimate risk and decide what follow-up care you may need.
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 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.
