Key result
Elevated NT-proBNP links to increased cardiovascular event risk and serves as a diagnostic screening tool.
NT-proBNP is a stable biomarker of cardiac function that can be measured via immunoassay to identify individuals at risk for cardiovascular events such as atrial fibrillation and stroke.

Arun Kumar (2023) conducted a review in Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke. NT-proBNP screening was evaluated. Elevated levels of NT-proBNP are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, such as atrial fibrillation and stroke, and can be used as a diagnostic screening tool.
