Abstract

Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is a log of triglyceride (TG) to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio in mmoL/L is a surrogate marker of lipoprotein size of low-density lipoprotein and HDL, smaller the size, greater the atherogenicity. Materials and methods: A total of 102 participants with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and 90 non-coronary artery disease (CAD) asymptomatic participants, not on lipid reduction, were consequently observed and the traditional risk factors and lipidogram were noted and AIP was calculated from the lipidograms. Results: Atherogenic index of plasma values was considerably higher in patients with ACS than in Non-CAD patients p < 0.00001 and was raised in the male gender p < 0.01. Discussion: Atherogenic index of plasma used as a predictive and prognostic marker in CAD, ischemic stroke, metabolic syndrome it's been studied that higher the AIP, higher the angiographically proven lesions according to the Gensen score. Conclusion: Atherogenic index of plasma is an economical and novel biomarker of atherogenicity.
