Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited metabolic disorder with a high level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and the worse prognosis. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, an emerging tool to reflect insulin resistance (IR), is positively associated with a higher risk of atheroscle...
