Neuroglial Biomarkers for Risk Assessment of Ischemic Stroke and Other Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Not Receiving Oral Anticoagulation
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cardiac biomarkers improve risk prediction in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We recently demonstrated that the NFL (neuron-specific protein neurofilament light chain) was associated with ischemic stroke in patients with AF not receiving oral anticoagulation. The association of other neuroglial biomarkers reflecting brain injury (ie, GFAP [glial fibrillary acidic protein], total tau [tau], and UCHL1 [ubiquitin …
