Remnant Cholesterol and Prognostic Outcomes in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation on Oral Anticoagulants.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between dyslipidemia, a significant contributor to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and atrial fibrillation remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the impact of remnant cholesterol (RC) on the prognosis of patients with atrial fibrillation on oral anticoagulants.

Methods

A total of 23 267 patients with atrial fibrillation on oral anticoagulants from the Tianjin Health Medical Data Platform in China were identified for the analysis. We categorized participants into RC tertiles and used a multivariate Cox model to evaluate outcomes. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were used to evaluate the association between RC tertiles and all-cause death. The study analyzed the combined effect of RC and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol on out
