Atherogenic index of plasma predicts coronary artery disease severity and major adverse cardiac events in absence of conventional risk factors

Conclusion AIP is associated with both the severity of CAD and the occurrence of MACE within 3 years. It could serve as an effective marker of residual risk of CAD in patients devoid of traditional risk factors. Lipid-profile ratios, such as AIP are cost-effective and accessible parameters suitable for low and middle-income settings.
