About this study

Official title: Impact of Triglyceride-Glucose Index on Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients Presented With Myocardial Infarction With Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries

This work was designed to explore the role of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index in the prediction of cardiovascular outcomes in Patients Presented with myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries.

Read the detailed description

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains the leading causes of high morbidity and mortality worldwide . Recently, a distinct population with myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) has been increasingly recognized because of the widespread use of coronary angiography. MINOCA occurs in 5%-10% of all AMI and they are younger and more often women compared to patients with AMI and obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). The underlying causes of MINOCA are manifold and may include plaque rupture or erosion, thromboembolism, coronary spasm, spontaneous dissection, microvascular dysfunction and supply/demand mismatch. Some non-ischemic diseases such as myocarditis may also mimic the presentation of MINOCA . Of note, several studies have found that the prognosis of MINOCA is not trivial and patients are still at considerable risks for long-term adverse cardiovascular (CV) events despite the optimal secondary prevention treatments . Thus, it is of necessity and profound implications to find potential residual risk factors and improve prognosis in MINOCA population.

Insulin resistance (IR), a critical mechanism of the pathogenesis of diabetes, not only contributes to the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), but also significantly correlates with adverse CV outcomes. Additionally, IR often coexists with obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia , and all of these are well-known risk factors of CVD. Recently, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index derived from fasting triglyceride (TG) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels has been proposed as a new and valid surrogate indicator of IR . Till now, many studies have found that the TyG index is positively correlated with metabolic disorders, arterial stiffness , carotid atherogenesis , coronary artery calcification , and subclinical or symptomatic CAD. Moreover, growing evidence has showed that the TyG index is an independent predictor of poor CV outcomes in general population and in different cohorts with CAD, including patients with AMI or acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with or without diabetes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Major Cardiovascular Events, run by Assiut University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ahmed Gamal Thabit Mohamed (01065476011, ahmedgamal54011@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (time frame: along one year follow up .). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06066177, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jan 2024.
