In about 70 percent of cases, patients with HCM experience obstruction to blood flow, which increases pressures in the heart and can lead to chest pain, shortness of breath and reduced exercise capacity.

Vascular endothelial cells play an important role in regulating peripheral circulation by modulating arterial tone in the microvasculature. Elevated intracellular Ca2+ levels are required in endothelial cells to induce smooth muscle relaxation via endothelium-dependent mechanisms such as nitric oxide production, prostacyclin, and endothelial cell hyperpolarization.

However, no prior study has investigated the interactive effects of the TyG index and hypertension on stroke. This study examined whether hypertension mediates associations of TyG index with incident stroke and the extent of interaction or joint relations of TyG index and hypertension with stroke in middle-aged and older Chinese adults.Methods
