N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide levels predict newly detected atrial fibrillation in a population-based cohort

BACKGROUND: B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is secreted from cardiomyocytes and may reflect haemodynamic abnormalities predisposing to atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to investigate whether N-terminal pro BNP (NT-proBNP) is associated with newly detected AF in subjects obtained from the general...
