Abstract
Multi-vessel coronary disease (MVCD) is a severe form of coronary artery disease (CAD) that significantly increases the risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and heart attacks. The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is a reliable and convenient marker for insulin resistance (IR). Recent studies have demonstrated its predictive value for CAD in patients with MVCD. This review aims to explore the application of the TyG index in managing MVCD and its underlying pathogenesis to enhance risk stratification and improve therapeutic decision-making.
