- The CHG index is a novel metabolic marker for predicting adverse outcomes in myocardial infarction (MI) survivors.
- The study analyzed two cohorts: 16,959 MI survivors from the UK Biobank and 6,253 post-MI patients from Fuwai Hospital.
- Higher CHG index quartiles were associated with increased risks of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
- The CHG index showed better predictive performance than the TyG index in time-dependent ROC analyses.
- The CHG index serves as a valuable adjunctive tool for risk reclassification in secondary prevention of cardiovascular events.
