Is an elevated atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) associated with increased CAD risk, severity, and poorer prognosis in populations with and without established CAD?
Elevated atherogenic index of plasma serves as a strong marker for increased risk, severity, and poor prognosis of coronary artery disease.
This meta-analysis demonstrates that elevated AIP is strongly associated with increased CAD risk, greater severity, and poorer prognosis in populations with and without established CAD. However, more studies are needed to evaluate the predictive performance and determine the optimal cut-off for AIP in different populations.
Assempoor et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
