Objective To determine the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose(TyG)index and subclinical left ventricular dysfunction(SLVD)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 148 patients with T2DM who were admitted to Anyang Regional Hospital of Puyang were enrolled in this study from January to December 2023.They were divided into simple T2DM group with global longitudinal strain(GLS)value≥18%(n=89)and SLVD group with GLS value<18%(n=59)according to the left ventricular function.The general data,biochemical indexes,TyG index and homeostatic model 2 assessment for insulin resistance(HOMA2-IR)were compared between the two groups.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between clinical indicators and TyG index.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of TyG index and HOMA2-IR for SLVD in T2DM patients.Results BMI,WC,HOMA2-IR,end-diastolic interventricular septal thickness(IVSTD),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVDD),left ventricular end-systolic diameter(LVDS),left ventricular end-diastolic posterior wall thickness(LVPWTD),left atrial diameter(LAD),HbA1c,FPG,FC-P,TG and TyG were higher(P<0.05),while GLS and LVEF were lower in SLVD group than in T2DM group(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that TyG index was positively correlated with BMI,WC,IVSTD,LVDS,LVPWTD,HbA1c,FPG,FC-P,TG,HOMA2-IR(P<0.05),and negatively correlated with GLS and LVEF(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of TyG index was 0.810,the sensitivity was 54.2%,the specificity was 98.9%,and the cut-off value was 9.45 for predicting SLVD in T2DM patients.The AUC of HOMA2-IR was 0.651,the sensitivity was 42.4%,the specificity was 84.2%,and the cut-off value was 1.85 for predicting SLVD in T2DM patients.Conclusions The TyG index was independently associated with SLVD in patients with T2DM and was a more reliable indicator of SLVD than HOMA2-IR.
