Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP): A marker of cardiovascular disease
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the cause of one third of deaths worldwide and this will progress because of increasing CVD's risk factors. The most basic task of dealing with the epidemic of CVD is primary prevention of risk factors. As Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) is a strong marker to predict the risk of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, we assessed the correlat...
متن کاملAtherogenic index of plasma as useful predictor of cardiovascular risk among postmenopausal women in Enugu, Nigeria.
BACKGROUND Menopausal health in our environment has received little attention. As an independent risk factor for dyslipidaemia, the degree and pattern of derangement, though difficult to assess may adversely affect the cardiovascular health of our women. OBJECTIVES To estimate the serum lipid profile and the atherogenic index of plasma in normal post menopausal women. METHODS This is a cros...

متن کاملAtherogenic Index of Plasma, Castelli Risk Index and Atherogenic Coefficient- New Parameters in Assessing Cardiovascular Risk
Coronary artery disease is the epidemic of modern civilization in which dyslipidemia contributes significantly to its pathogenesis. We studied the significance of three important lipid ratios i.e. Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) {(logTG)/HDLc}, Castelli’s Risk Index I & II (TC/HDLc and LDLc/HDLc respectively) and Atherogenic coefficient (AC) {(Non-HDLc)/HDLc} in predicting the risk of CAD. A ...
متن کاملHomocysteine and risk of cardiovascular disease among postmenopausal women.
CONTEXT Individuals with elevated levels of homocysteine tend to have higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease. However, prospective studies of homocysteine are inconsistent and data among women are limited. OBJECTIVE To determine whether elevated homocysteine levels in healthy postmenopausal women predict risk of developing cardiovascular disease. DESIGN Prospective, nested case-control...
