Abstract: Introduction Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and structural abnormalities are common cardiac changes in hypertension (HTN), and several factors other than high blood pressure (BP) may play a role in these changes. The aim of this study was to reveal the relationship between triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, a novel parameter for insulin resistance (IR), with LV diastolic function and structure in hypertensive patients. Material and method A total of 119 newly diagnosed, untrated hypertensive patients free of diabetes and/or cardiovascular complications were included in this study. IR was estimated with the TyG index calculated from ln [fasting TG (mg/dL) x fasting blood glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiographic examinations were performed to assess LV diastolic functions and structure. Results Based on median TyG index, 51 patients was assigned as group I (<8.7) and 68 patients as group II (>8.7). In patients with high TyG index, left atrial volume index (LAVi) (p < .001) LV mass index (LVMI) (p = .016), E/e' ratio (p < .001) increased, and e' velocity (p < .001) and E/A ratio (p = .028) decreased. There was a statistically significant correlation between TyG index and these parameters (all p > .05). Stepwise multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the relationship of TyG index with LV diastolic function and structure was independent of potential confounders (all p < .001). Conclusion This study suggest that a high TyG index is related to LV diastolic functional impairment and structure abnormality in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients in the absence of diabetes or CVD.
