Triglyceride glucose index in premature heart disease patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not have diabetes (no history of diabetes, your average blood sugar over 3 months is below 6.5%, and your fasting blood sugar is below 126 mg/dL).
- You have been diagnosed with heart artery disease by a special X-ray called coronary angiography.
- You have not had any previous heart procedures like stents or bypass surgery.
- You do not have severe liver or kidney problems.
- You are not currently taking medicines to lower your triglycerides.

This trial uses a polygenic risk score to see if knowing your genetic risk for coronary artery disease can help prevent a first heart attack. If you have an intermediate 10-year risk and no prior heart events, you may be eligible.
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 your genetic information to estimate your risk for heart disease. It may help you and your doctor decide if you should take medication to protect your heart.
This study looks at whether testosterone levels are linked to how blocked the heart arteries are in young men (under 45) with early heart disease. It involves a one-time blood test during a planned cardiac catheterization.
This study looks at a simple blood test called the triglyceride-glucose index. If you have had a heart attack without major blockages (MINOCA), the study will check whether this index can help predict your future risk of heart problems, which could guide your treatment and follow-up care.
This study looks at whether a blood test called the triglyceride-glucose index can help predict blockages in heart arteries. If you are not obese and are scheduled for a heart angiogram, this test might help doctors understand your risk.
