During a median follow-up period of 1.96 years, the HR for all-cause mortality was higher in the subset of patients with TyG ≥median and PCSK9 ≥median (p for trend = 0.023) among those with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, there were no statistically significant differences among the subgroups. Among T2DM patients with a TyG index greater than the median, the Kaplan-Meier curve showed that patients with the highest PCSK9 levels had an increased risk of all-cause mortality (log-rank p = 0.017) and cardiac-cause mortality (log-rank p = 0.037) compared with lower PCSK9 quartile levels.Conclusion: Elevated PCSK9 levels are related to all-cause mortality and cardiac-related mortality when TyG levels are greater than the median, but not when levels are less than the median. This suggests a potential benefit of lowering circulating PCSK9 levels in STEMI patients with insulin resistance.Keywords: triglyceride glucose index, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9, mortality, type 2 diabetes, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, primary percutaneous coronary intervention
