Aims: Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is an echocardiographic condition with a multicomponent etiopathogenesis, one of which is insulin resistance. Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is an excellent biochemical parameter that has proven itself in determining insulin resistance in recent years. This study aims to reveal the relationship between the TyG index and the presence of MAC.&#x0D; Methods: The study included 159 patients with MAC and 167 control group. The control group has similar demog
