Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is linked to significant morbidity and mortality, with ischaemic stroke being a leading cause of death. Identifying modifiable risk and protective factors may help ...

Higher levels of two cardiac biomarkers at baseline are associated with an increased risk of future cancer, according to new findings from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). Researchers ...

Small shifts in two proteins that doctors usually watch for silent heart damage might also warn of cancer years before symptoms start. A UCLA‑led team found that people with slightly higher blood ...

Elevated levels of N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), a key biomarker for diagnosing heart failure, show a nearly fourfold increased risk for atrial fibrillation (AF) in at-risk ...

Background: NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide), high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-troponin T), and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-troponin I) have been widely ...

Background We evaluated the potential of circulating bone morphogenetic protein 10 (BMP10) as a biomarker for atrial stress and remodelling in patients with heart failure (HF), in comparison to ...
