Legrand, L.; Maupain, C.; Monin, M.-L.; Ewenczyk, C.; Isnard, R.; Alkouri, R.; Durr, A.; Pousset, F.; J. Clin. Med. 2020, 9, 1630. doi:10.3390/jcm9061630

Conclusion: hsTnT was increased in 1/3 of the adult FA and associated with increased septal wall thickness. Increased NT-proBNP remained a marker of increased left ventricular filling pressure. This could be used to identify patients that should undergo a closer cardiac surveillance.
