Association Between the Triglyceride-Glucose Index and Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Retrospective Case-Control Study

An elevated TyG index was independently associated with AMI in this retrospective case-control study. These findings support the potential utility of the TyG index as an accessible metabolic marker associated with increased odds of AMI in hospitalized patients.
