Background: While previous population studies have shown that higher triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index values are associated with an increased risk of congestive heart failure (CHF), the relationship between TyG and CHF in patients with abnormal glucose metabolism remains understudied. This study aimed to evaluate the association between TyG and CHF in individuals with diabetes and prediabetes. Methods: The study population was derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning from 1999 to 2018. The exposure variable, TyG, was calculated based on triglyceride and fasting blood glucose levels, while the outcome of interest was CHF. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the association between TyG and CHF. Results: A total of 13,644 patients with diabetes and prediabetes were included in this study. The results from the fitting curve analysis demonstrated a non-linear U-shaped correlation between TyG and CHF. Additionally, linear logistic regression analysis showed that each additional unit of TyG was associated with a non-significant odds ratio (OR) of 1.03 (95%CI: 0.88–1.22, P = 0.697) for the prevalence of CHF. A two-piecewise logistic regression model was used to calculate the threshold effect of the TyG. The log likelihood ratio test (p < 0.05) indicated that the two-piecewise logistic regression model was superior to the single-line logistic regression model. The TyG tangent point was observed at 8.60, and on the left side of this point, there existed a negative correlation between TyG and CHF (OR: 0.54, 95%CI: 0.36–0.81). Conversely, on the right side of the inflection point, a significant 28% increase in the prevalence of CHF was observed per unit increment in TyG (OR: 1.28, 95%CI: 1.04–1.56). Conclusions: The findings from this study suggest a U-shaped correlation between TyG and CHF, indicating that both elevated and reduced levels of TyG are associated with an increased prevalence of CHF.
