Impact of Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Value for Predicting Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in Ischemic Stroke Patients

Introduction The impact of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) value for predicting paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF) in ischemic stroke patients remains uncertain. Methods The consecutive 222 ischemic stroke patients (median 77 [IQR 68-83] years old, 93 females) within 48 hours after onset were ret...

Description
Summary:Introduction The impact of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) value for predicting paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF) in ischemic stroke patients remains uncertain. Methods The consecutive 222 ischemic stroke patients (median 77 [IQR 68-83] years old, 93 females) within 48 hours after onset were retrospectively studied. Plasma ANP and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels were simultaneously measured at admission. Of all, 158 patients had no evidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) (sinus rhythm [SR] group), 25 patients had pAF (pAF group), and the other 39 patients had chronic AF (cAF group). We investigated predicting factors for pAF, with focus on ANP, BNP, and ANP/BNP ratio. Results ANP value was significantly higher in the pAF than in the SR group (97 [50-157] mg/dL versus 42 [26-72] mg/dL, P
