Abstract
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide, and risk factors for the condition include ageing, obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and diabetes. The control group included at least one male participant for every two participants, according to the results, but 47.2% of the subject group had female participants. At a secondary health facility in Benin City, Nigeria, this study attempts to test the usefulness of lipid ratios as a cardiometabolic risk assessor in patients with hypertensive heart disease and atrial fibrillation. There are 100 participants in the study: 53 patients with atrial fibrillation and hypertensive heart illness and 47 non-hypertensive people who serve as the control group. Cardiometabolic risk variables were assessed by the analysis of lipid profiles, blood pressure readings, and different lipid ratios. Results whoed that The study group's mean age was 59.5 years, in contrast to the control group's mean age of 58.3 years. Total cholesterol in the control (159.13 mg/dl) significantly differed from the subject group (216.79 mg/dl) (p<0.05). Antherogenic index plasma (AIP), non-HDL cholesterol, and antherogenic coefficent all increased significantly in the subject group. The results imply that lipid profiles and ratios are crucial for determining cardiometabolic risk in this patient.
