Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a chronic cardiovascular disease occurring due to atherosclerotic occlusion of the coronary arteries (1). Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the most severe type of Coronary artery disease including unstable angina(UA) , St -elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) Non ST elevation mayocardial infarction (NSTEMI) (2). Despite the use of current guidline-recommended therapeutics including Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary Artery bypass Grafting (CABG) and optimal drug treatments some patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) remain at high risk for recurrent Cardio vascular events(3). Triglyceride glucose index (TYG) has a good potential in predicting poor cardiovascular prognosis in patients with IHD (4).
