Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Atherogenic index of plasma identifies subjects with severe liver steatosis
Abstract The Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP), calculated by log (Triglycerides/HDL-C), has been proposed as a marker of atherogenic and cardiovascular risk. Atherosclerosis and Metabolic Dysfunction—Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) share some pathogenic features and may be considered clinical manifestations of Metabolic Syndrome ...

Evaluation of atherogenic index of plasma levels at hypertensive patients
Aim: Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular system. Recent studies showed that atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) has a strong association with cardiovascular morbidity, all-cause mortality, atherosclerosis and severity of coronary artery disease. It also has a relationship with endothelial damage in hypertensive patients.

Abstract The immune system has long been recognized as a key driver in the progression of heart failure (HF). However, clinical trials targeting immune effectors have consistently failed to improve patient outcome across different HF aetiologies. The activation of the immune system in HF is complex, involving a broad network of pro‐inflammatory and ...

Pioglitazone Reduces Atherogenic Index of Plasma in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes [PDF]
AbstractBackground: Insulin resistance is often associated with increased triglyceride (TG) and decreased HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations and increased small LDL particles. The Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP), defined as log(TG/HDL-C), has recently been proposed as a marker of plasma atherogenicity because it is increased in people at higher ...

Higher Atherogenic Index of Plasma Is Associated with Hyperuricemia: A National Longitudinal Study
Background. The association between atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and hyperuricemia remains indistinct. This study was aimed to examine the relationship between AIP and hyperuricemia among the middle-aged and the elderly Chinese population. Methods.
