Assessment of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide level in screening for atrial fibrillation in primary health care

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF), an important cause of thromboembolic events, is often silent and intermittent, thus presenting a diagnostic challenge. The aim of this study was to assess whether the plasma level of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is related to the presence...
