Description
Yixuan Duan and ten co-authors study a blood marker in patients who have both acute coronary syndrome and type 2 diabetes. The marker, the triglyceride-glucose index, combines fat and sugar values and has been linked to worse heart outcomes. The authors ask whether how long a patient has had diabetes changes that link.
The study covers 7,093 patients treated with stents between 2016 and 2020, followed for five years. About one in ten suffered a heart attack, a stroke, or died of heart causes. A higher index and a longer history of diabetes each raised the risk on their own. The link between the index and events was strongest in patients whose diabetes was newest, and it faded as duration grew. The authors suggest the marker is most useful early in the course of diabetes.
