Article Abstract

Introduction: Previous studies highlighted the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes. However, whether diabetes affects TyG-cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is still unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the TyG index and CVD risk, stratified by diabetes status, as well as the potential modifying effect of diabetic status.

Methods/design: The PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases were searched for studies on the associations between the TyG index and cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with and without diabetes from inception to December 2, 2024. The random effects model was employed to pool the effect sizes.

Results: A total of 50 cohort studies (7,239,790 participants) were included. The mean age of participants was 31.46 years (diabetes mellitus [DM]: 65.18; non-DM: 31.23), and 40.66% of participants were female (DM: 36.07%; non-DM: 40.70%). The associations between the TyG index and cardiovascular events (HR: 1.72 vs. 1.55, P = 0.55), major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (HR: 2.02 vs. 1.91, P = 0.84), stroke (HR: 1.46 vs. 1.39, P = 0.77) and cardiovascular death (HR: 1.85 vs. 1.60, P = 0.56) were similar among DM and non-DM individuals. However, the associations between the TyG index and ischemic heart disease (IHD) (HR: 2.20 vs. 1.57, P = 0.03) as well as all-cause mortality (HR: 1.94 vs. 1.24, P = 0.01) were stronger in DM patients than in non-DM patients.

Conclusion: TyG index showed association with cardiovascular events, mortality, and all-cause mortality independent of diabetic status, with low to moderate certainty. The associations for IHD and all-cause death were stronger in diabetic patients than in individuals without diabetes. Future studies should explore the role of diabetes in the TyG index-associated CVD outcomes and mortality.

Background: Morbid obesity is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Diastolic dysfunction, particularly in non-cardiac surgeries, has been associated with increased incidence of adverse cardiovascular events. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery and to identify associated clinical risk factors using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used for pain and inflammation but are associated with gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. While this risk is well established, most studies evaluate NSAIDs as a homogenous class, limiting clinical decision-making based on individual agent safety. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify the risk of GI bleeding associated with individual NSAIDs.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of CT planning on surgical myectomy outcomes in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and/or mid-cavity obstruction, by comparing these outcomes with those of conventional surgical myectomy.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included patients who underwent surgical septal myectomy for HCM with LVOT and/or mid-cavity obstruction between January 2019 and May 2024 at a single tertiary center. In the CT-planned myectomy group, an expert radiologist simulated the target myectomy site through a series of post-processing methods to plan the surgical approach, provide a surgeon's view that closely resembles the actual perspective in the operating room, and present the target myectomy volume.

Background: Pulmonary hypertension is associated with cardiovascular events, but when assessed at rest, it has limited sensitivity. Pulmonary vascular reserve can be assessed noninvasively using exercise echocardiography, but this has not been studied in adults with coarctation of aorta (COA). We hypothesized that adults with COA had worse pulmonary vascular reserve compared to controls, and that impaired pulmonary vascular reserve was associated with clinical indices of disease severity independent right ventricular (RV) indices at rest.

Objectives: To quantify the incidence of adverse events given COVID-19 vaccination and COVID-19 diagnosis in women of reproductive age; to examine pregnancy as a potential risk modifier.

Methods: An exposure-matched cohort study of >1 million women, 11 December 2020-30 September 2022, United States. COVID-19 vaccination, COVID-19 diagnoses, and medically-attended adverse events - including immunologic, neurologic, cerebrovascular, thromboembolic, cardiovascular, respiratory, thrombocytopenic and coagulative events - were identified from inpatient and outpatient medical claims.
