    Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects approximately 10% of the global population and is linked to significant cardiovascular complications.

  • 2

    Speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) is recommended for detecting left ventricular systolic dysfunction in CKD patients due to its high sensitivity.

  • 3

    The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is associated with global longitudinal strain (GLS) and can help identify CKD patients at high risk for abnormal GLS.

  • 4

    A nomogram model based on the TyG index was developed to predict abnormal GLS in CKD patients, demonstrating robust predictive performance.

  • 5

    The study aims to optimize the use of STE in CKD patients, potentially conserving healthcare resources by targeting high-risk individuals.
