    TyG index as a predictor of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in young women
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Oezkan, Ugur; Guerdogan, Muhammet
    ObjectiveSpontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare but potentially life-threatening pathology and cases are especially seen in women under 50 years of age and with relatively fewer cardiovascular risk factors. Although risk factors facilitating the development of SCAD have been defined in the literature, modifiable risk factors remain unclear. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between the triglyceride glucose index (TyG) and the development of SCAD in the population of young women.MethodsThe results of 281 patients were analyzed and compared with each other in terms of clinical, demographic, laboratory parameters, and coronary angiography results.ResultsThe mean age was 45 years and all of them were female. When the groups were compared, the TyG and inflammatory parameters were higher in the SCAD group (p < 0.001). When these two groups with low cardiovascular risk factors were compared in logistic regression analysis, high TyG was found to be an independent predictor of SCAD development in young women (p < 0.001).ConclusionAs a result, our study shows that the development of these non-atherosclerotic conditions can be predicted by simple biochemical tests in young women with low atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk factors.
