Abstract
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF)-European guidelines suggest the use of biomarkers to stratify patients for stroke and bleeding risks. We investigated if a multibiomarker strategy improved the predictive performance of CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED in anticoagulated AF patients.Methods: We included consecutive patients stabilized for six months on vitamin K antagonists (INRs 2.0–3.0). High sensitivity troponin T, NT-proBNP, interleukin-6, von...
