Circulating FGFBP-1 (fibroblast growth factor-binding protein 1) in the assessment of atrial fibrillation and for the prediction of stroke

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for assessing atrial fibrillation in a subject, the method comprising determining the amount of FGFBP-1 in a sample derived from the subject, and comparing the amount of FGFBP-1 to a reference amount, atrial fibrillation This includes the steps to be assessed. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for predicting stroke based on the amount of FGFBP-1.
