Description
Lin Han and four co-authors pool studies on a metabolic index and heart rhythm in a 2025 paper. The index mixes blood fat and sugar into one number. It serves as a stand in for insulin resistance. Past studies disagreed on whether it predicts atrial fibrillation.
The team searched three databases through late 2024. Studies that split patients into index bands were pooled first. The top band carried about double the rhythm risk of the bottom band. Studies using the index as a sliding scale agreed in direction. Each step up the scale raised risk by a similar factor. Removing one study at a time barely moved the pooled result. The authors call the link stable, while noting wide variation between studies.
