Association between serum apolipoprotein B and atrial fibrillation: a case–control study

The relationship between apolipoprotein B (APOB) and atrial fibrillation (AF) is less well-known. We aimed to investigate the association between APOB and AF by gender. We conducted a case–control study including 1913 consecutive hospitalized patients to analyze the association between APOB and AF....

Description
Summary:The relationship between apolipoprotein B (APOB) and atrial fibrillation (AF) is less well-known. We aimed to investigate the association between APOB and AF by gender. We conducted a case–control study including 1913 consecutive hospitalized patients to analyze the association between APOB and AF. 950 AF patients and 963 age-, sex-matched non-AF patients with sinus rhythm were evaluated. T-test, Mann–Whitney test, ANOVA, and Chi-square analysis were performed to analyze baseline data and intergroup comparisons. Pearson's correlation tests or Spearman correlation tests were performed to determine the interrelationships. Multiple regression analysis was performed to adjust for covariables. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to examine the performance of APOB. AF patients had lower APOB (P
