Biomarkers for improved risk prediction and biological insights in patients with atrial fibrillation

David Conen

The challenges of improving risk prediction in atrial fibrillation were brought to the forefront through recent research on multiple biomarkers. This work explores how various biomarkers are linked to different outcomes and their potential to refine risk prediction. Early findings suggest that no single pathway is responsible for the observed outcomes, underscoring the need for larger, more comprehensive studies. Such studies must include a wide range of biomarkers and phenotypic associations to accurately determine and predict the diverse outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation.
