Summary: This study aimed to compare and analyze the predictive ability of TyG index and CACS for multi-vascular disease and MACEs in ACS patients. The results showed that TyG index, as a reliable and independent indicator, could replace CACS for predicting the severity and prognosis of MVCD.

Summary: The TyG index, a predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD), was found to be associated with the severity of CAD in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study stratified 1,007 ACS patients undergoing coronary angiography based on TyG index and SYNTAX score and found that higher TyG index was related to higher coronary anatomical complexity. The TyG index could potentially serve as a noninvasive predictor of CAD complexity in ACS patients and influence management and therapeutic approach decisions.

Summary: Combining coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) with coronary artery calcium (CAC) score can significantly improve the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). The addition of CAC score is particularly beneficial when CCTA alone is inconclusive.

Summary: In non-obstructive coronary artery disease, the decline of CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) depends not only on vessel length but also on the lumen volume. A new marker, the ratio of lumen volume to vessel length (V/L ratio), was found to be the strongest predictor of distal FFRCT.

Summary: This study retrospectively assessed the association between the appropriateness of post-CCTA management according to CAD-RADS 2.0 and clinical outcomes. The results showed that appropriate management was associated with a lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events and a more prudent use of invasive coronary angiography.

Summary: The study demonstrated a strong association between the TyG index and impaired collateralization in CAD patients with CTO lesions. Higher TyG index values were significantly correlated with an increased risk of less developed collateralization even after adjusting for confounding factors. The risk assessment performance of the TyG index for impaired collateralization was found to be better than other single metabolic abnormality indicators.

Summary: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) has undergone significant technological advancements and is now considered a high-accuracy substitute for conventional invasive coronary angiography in diagnosing and making treatment decisions for patients with suspected coronary artery disease.

Summary: This study is the first to demonstrate the association between TyG-BMI index and CAD severity. The TyG index, TyG-BMI index, TG/HDL-C ratio, and METS-IR can serve as valuable predictors of CAD severity.

Summary: This study found that an increased TyG index was associated with a higher risk of multi-vessel CAD. The TyG index could be a valuable predictor of CAD severity, especially for individuals with pre-DM.

Summary: This study found that TyG index is associated with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), and an increased TyG index can identify patients with a high risk of multi-vessel CAD. The association between TyG index and CAD severity was significant in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).

Summary: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a direct measure of an individual's coronary atherosclerotic burden. Higher levels of CAC are strongly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and individuals with very high CAC levels have a CVD risk similar to stable persons with a prior CVD event. Conversely, the absence of CAC (CAC=0) is associated with a low long-term risk of CVD, even among groups classified as high risk based on traditional risk factors.

Summary: CAVi, derived from CCTA, is proposed as an indicator of diffuse atherosclerosis. This study found that CAVi is moderately correlated with stress MBF and MFR, and has incremental value in predicting abnormal stress MBF and ischemia compared to CCTA alone.

Summary: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring effectively rules out obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) and high-risk CAD in symptomatic patients, with a correct exclusion rate of 98.2% and 99.4% respectively. This study supports the incorporation of CAC testing in the early triage of patients with chest pain and as a gatekeeper to further cardiac testing. However, a full coronary CT angiography may be needed for safely ruling out obstructive CAD in the youngest patients (<45 years of age).

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the relationship between the TyG index and the risk, severity, and prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). The results showed that patients with higher TyG index levels had a higher risk of CAD, more severe coronary artery lesions, and worse prognosis.

Summary: This study aimed at assessing DAPT adherence in ACS patients following DES placement. Results showed high adherence at one month but suboptimal at three and six months. Factors associated with nonadherence include rural location, inactive occupation, and inadequate knowledge on disease and DAPT.
