Relationship of Natriuretic Peptides with Left Atrial Structure and Function within 1 Month after Electrical Cardioversion in Patients with Persistent Atrial Fibrillation.

Conclusions. LA indexed volume, all phases of LA function, and NT-proBNP levels improved significantly following 1 month of SR restoration. Preliminary results suggest that higher baseline NT-proANP levels and higher NT-proBNP for patients with maintained SR for 1 month are related to lower LA reservoir function. The longer duration of persistent AF is associated with higher NT-proANP concentration. PMID: 31008112 [PubMed - in process]
