摘要
Even in the absence of hyperglycemia or hyperlipidemia, it has been demonstrated that insulin resistance is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. Finding markers of insulin resistance that are associated with markers of atherosclerosis could help identify patients early in their disease course and allow for earlier initiation of preventative treatments. We reviewed available evidence regarding associations between known markers of insulin resistance and known markers of atherosclerosis. Serum triglycerides (TG), triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), and homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) were the insulin resistance markers reviewed. The coronary artery calcium score (CAC), carotid intimal medium thickness (cIMT), and pulse wave velocity (PWV) were reviewed as markers of atherosclerosis. TyG showed the most consistent association with CAC across broad demographic groups, though HOMA showed potential in obese individuals and those without diabetes. The data regarding cIMT and the reviewed insulin resistance markers did not yield any consistent associations, though very elevated TyG did appear to be associated with cIMT among normal weight individuals. Serum triglycerides showed a strong and consistent association with PWV across numerous studies and populations, though TyG index also demonstrated a strong association with PWV in a large systematic review. Of the insulin resistance markers reviewed, the TyG index appears to be most consistently associated with markers of atherosclerosis. TyG can be easily calculated with routine labwork and has the potential to inform decisions regarding early initiation of therapies in patients who would otherwise not be treated. Targeting insulin sensitivity prior to the development of T2DM has the potential to reduce development and progression of atherosclerosis, and patients without T2DM but who have elevated TyG index should be the topic of further research.
