Association between the triglyceride–glucose index and carotid artery plaque burden in patients with primary hypertension: A cross-sectional study

Background Studies have shown an association between the triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index and carotid artery plaque (CAP). However, the relationship between the TyG index and plaque burden in individuals with primary hypertension remains uncertain. Our study specifically aimed to explore this relationship among primary hypertension patients.
