A STUDY ON CORRELATION OF SEVERITY AND OUTCOME IN ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME WITH TRIGLYCERIDE GLUCOSE INDEX

Abstract

Aims: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is currently most prevalent cause of mortality and 
morbidity worldwide and India. Asian Indians throughout the world have one of the highest 
incidences of premature coronary artery disease with clinical manifestations occurring almost 
ten years earlier than other populations. There is an increase in coronary heart disease (CAD) 
in past 60 years, from 1% to 10% in urban populations and <1% to 6% in rural populations. 
The present study was conducted to assess the relationship between severity and outcome of 
CAD with triglyceride glucose (TYG) index.
