Cardio-metabolic biomarkers including circulating ketone bodies and risk of incident atrial fibrillation in the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis (MESA).
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) reflects systemic cardio-metabolic dysfunction. While myocardial stress and injury biomarkers are associated with incident AF, the role of ketone bodies (KB) remains incompletely defined. OBJECTIVES To evaluate a multi-biomarker risk score integrating KB with NT-proBNP and hs-cTnT...
