Importance of high triglycerides levels between novel coronary risk factors
(Sociedad Colombiana de Cardiología y Cirugía Cardiovascular., 2017-11)
Introduction: The analysis of new cardiovascular risk factors is under an extensive debate in
the cardiology and metabolic research fields.
Objective: To determine the main factors that contribute to the classification of individuals
with higher coronary risk in the adult population from Maracaibo, Venezuela.
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study with multistage random sampling in 1379 individuals
belonging to the Maracaibo City Metabolic Syndrome Prevalence Study (MMSPS) was
performed. They were classified according to the coronary ...
Optimal cutoff for the evaluation of insulin resistance through triglyceride-glucose index: A cross-sectional study in a Venezuelan population [version 1; referees: awaiting peer review]
(F1000 Research Ltd., 2017-08-07)
Background: Insulin resistance (IR) evaluation is a fundamental goal in clinical
and epidemiological research. However, the most widely used methods are
difficult to apply to populations with low incomes. The triglyceride-glucose index
(TGI) emerges as an alternative to use in daily clinical practice. Therefore the
objective of this study was to determine an optimal cutoff point for the TGI in an
adult population from Maracaibo, Venezuela.
Methods: This is a sub-study of Maracaibo City Metabolic Syndrome
Prevalence Study, a descriptive, ...
