Eva Soler Espejo։ Atherogenic Index of Plasma and Residual Risk in Atrial Fibrillation
Eva Soler Espejo, Consultant Hematologist at Virgen de la Arrixaca University Clinical Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article she co-authored with her colleagues, adding:
”Anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation reduces risk — but does not eliminate it completely.
I am very pleased to share our latest publication in the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA).
In this prospective real-world study of anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation, we investigated whether the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) could help identify residual cardiovascular and thromboembolic risk.
Higher AIP levels were independently associated with worse clinical outcomes, particularly thromboembolic events and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), suggesting that this simple metabolic marker may provide incremental prognostic value beyond conventional risk assessment.
These findings underline the importance of better understanding residual risk in order to move towards more personalised and comprehensive management strategies in patients with AF.”
