High Values of the Leukocyte Glycemic Index Are Associated with Symptomatic Systemic Atherosclerotic Disease in Young Patients

Peripheral artery disease (PAD), traditionally affecting older adults, is increasingly diagnosed in younger patients, highlighting the need for early, non-invasive biomarkers such as the leukocyte glycemic index (LGI) that reflect the inflammatory mechanisms driving atherosclerosis. The aim of this...

Description
Summary:Peripheral artery disease (PAD), traditionally affecting older adults, is increasingly diagnosed in younger patients, highlighting the need for early, non-invasive biomarkers such as the leukocyte glycemic index (LGI) that reflect the inflammatory mechanisms driving atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to determine whether the LGI can be associated with the presence of symptomatic atherosclerotic disease on patients under 45 years.
