CIRCULATING BMP10 (BONE MORPHOGENIC PROTEIN 10) IN THE ASSESSMENT OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

The present invention relates to a method for assessing atrial fibrillation in a subject, said method comprising the steps of determining the amount of BMP 10 in a sample from the subject, and comparing the amount of BMP 10 to a reference amount, whereby atrial fibrillation is to be assessed.

Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a method for assessing atrial fibrillation in a subject, said method comprising the steps of determining the amount of BMP 10 in a sample from the subject, and comparing the amount of BMP 10 to a reference amount, whereby atrial fibrillation is to be assessed. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for diagnosing heart failure based on the determination of BMP 10 in a sample from a subject. Further, the present invention relates to a method for predicting the risk of a subject of hospitalization due to heart failure based on the determination of a BMP 10-type peptide in a sample from a subject.
