Metabolic disturbances are prevalent in the elderly population and contribute to CAD morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and total coronary atherosclerotic burden assessed non-invasively by Coronary Computed Tomography Angiogram (CCTA) in the elderly population.
