Atrial Cardiomyopathy Predicts the Functional Outcome and Mortality in Stroke Patients

CONCLUSIONS: ACM may serve as a novel predictor of a poor long-term functional outcome in patients with NCS. Elevated NT-pro BNP levels (＞250 pg/ml) were found to be associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality. These findings warrant further validation in multicenter studies.PMID:38644203 | DOI:10.5551/jat.64756
