Abstract：Coronary heart disease(CHD)in young adults,the occurrence of CHD in individuals aged 45 years or younger,represents a distinct subtype of the condition and has exhibited an increasing incidence in recent years.Current evidence indicates that insulin resistance serves as a key pathophysiological mechanism driving both the onset and progression of CHD within this demographic.In this context,the triglyceride-glucose index has emerged as a novel marker of insulin resistance,demonstrating significant research potential and clinical relevance.This review aims to explore the association between the triglyceride-glucose index and CHD in young adults,elucidate the underlying mechanisms,and discuss related intervention strategies,with the goal of providing new insights for the early identification and management of this condition.
