ALGORITHM OF NTproBNP AND HAND HELD ECG TO DETECT ARRHYTHMIA IN AN ELDERLY POPULATION

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a method of diagnosing whether a subject with no known history of atrial fibrillation is suffering from atrial fibrillation, or not, said method comprising the steps of a) determining the amount of a BNP-type peptide in a sample of said subject; b) comparing the amount the BNP-type peptide to a reference, and c) assessing intermittent ECG recordings obtained from said subject over a period of at least one week by using a handheld ECG device.
