Objective: Previous studies have shown a significant associa-tion between insulin resistance (IR) measured by using different methods and heart failure (HF). In recent years, the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has been used to measure IR, and there are several reports showing that the TyG index indicates conditions such as metabolic syndrome (MetS) and atherosclerotic process. However, there is no study investigating the association of the TyG index with HF. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the role of the TyG index in HF presence and its relationship with HF sever-ity in this study.
