NCT04710745

Brief Summary

The general objective of this study is to: A. To identify novel plasmatic biomarkers associated with prevalent/incident atrial fibrillation in patients with high risk for AF and stroke. B. To assess predictive ability of novel plasmatic biomarkers (especially apelin and miRNAs) on prevalent/incident atrial fibrillation in patients with high risk for AF and stroke. C. To validate predictive models from previous studies based on comorbidities, age, sex, BMI, NT-proBNP, FGF-23, IGF-1 and IGFBP-1 on prevalent/incident AF in patients with high risk for AF and stroke.

Study Arms (1)

Study Group

Patients in sinus rhythm without history of AF, with high risk for ischemic stroke and AF. CHA2DS2-VASc score \> 2 (for females \> 3) and with more than 3 specific criteria for inclusion.

Diagnostic Test: Peripheral blood samples for routine analysis including NT-proBNP and plasmatic biomarkers.Diagnostic Test: EchocardiographyDiagnostic Test: ECG Holter monitorDiagnostic Test: Standardized Mini-Mental Status Exam (SMMSE)

Interventions

Sampling of peripheral venous blood for analysis of plasma concentration of plasmatic markers (Apelin, microRNA, FGF-23, IGF-1, IGFBP-1) and routine analysis (laboratory parameters: NT-proBNP, D-dimer, Creatinine Clearance, CRP, Hs-troponin).

Study Group
EchocardiographyDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

ECHO parameters: * E/e´ * Mean e' septal and lateral wall * LA volume (Biplane Area-Length Method) * Left atrial volume index * Diameter of left atrium in PLAX * Severe aortic stenosis * Severe mitral regurgitation * Severe tricuspid regurgitation * Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter * Interventricular septum * Posterior wall * LV Mass * Left ventricular mass index

Study Group
ECG Holter monitorDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Patient receives an ECG Holter for a 7-day monitoring.

Study Group

A screening test for evaluating cognitive performance of patients done in the clinician's office.
