Diagnostic Utility of N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide in Identifying Atrial Fibrillation Post-Cryptogenic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Diagnostic Utility of N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide in Identifying Atrial Fibrillation Post-Cryptogenic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly contributes to acute ischemic stroke, with undetected AF being a common culprit in cryptogenic strokes. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), indicative of myocardial stress, has been proposed as a biomarker for AF detection, aiding...
