In the October 15, 2024 issue of JACC, a study led by Dr. Paul Haller investigates the use of biomarkers—NT-proBNP, high-sensitive cardiac troponin T, and GDF-15—to assess heart failure risk in patients with atrial fibrillation. The findings reveal that these biomarkers significantly enhance risk stratification, suggesting their potential to identify patients at varying risks for heart failure and improve clinical management.
