Correlation of triglyceride glucose index as a marker of insulin resistance and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in obese patients

Abstract

Background: Overweight people are more likely to have insulin resistance, which raises their risk of
diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Recently, it has been thought that the triglyceride glucose index
(TyG) provides a straightforward substitute for the usual widely utilized measures of insulin resistance.
Independent of other known risk factors, such as diabetes and hypertension, obesity is a recognised risk
factor for preserved ejection fraction heart failure (HFpEF). TyG index has been linked to the
development of cardiovascular disease and hypertension in the prvious studies. The association between
the TyG index and the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in obese
individuals has not yet been thoroughly researched.
