Are lipid profile levels associated with the incidence of atrial fibrillation in a Chinese cohort?
Higher total cholesterol and LDL-C levels are inversely associated with the incidence of atrial fibrillation, highlighting a potential 'lipid paradox' in AF development.
TC and LDL-C levels were inversely associated with incident AF, whereas no significant association of AF with HDL-C or TG levels was observed.
Li et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
