Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and the detection rate of new documented atrial fibrillation (AF) after ischemic stroke. Consecutive patients with ischemic stroke prospectively enrolled within 24 hours of onset. Patients with AF on admission electrocardiography or with histories of AF were excluded. The plasma BNP level was measured on admission, and the factors associated with new documented AF were investigated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Furthermore, the detection rates of AF according to BNP level were evaluated. A total of 584 patients were enrolled. AF was detected in 40 patients (new AF group; 6.8%). The median BNP level of the new AF group was significantly higher than for the non-AF group (186.6 pg/ml [interquartile range 68.7 to 386.3] vs 35.2 pg/ml [interquartile range 15.9 to 80.1], p <0.0001). The cut-off level, sensitivity, and specificity of BNP levels to distinguish the new AF group from the non-AF group were 65.0 pg/ml, 80%, and 70%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score >7 (odds ratio 3.4, 95% confidence interval 1.685 to 7.006, p = 0.0007) ...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.
