“…Patients who have undergone open heart surgery experience a similar increase, although they have higher pre-test levels [24]. Variation on natriuretic hormone measurements in a population of patients with heart disease is about 20% [25] According to these studies, we calculated that we could detect a 30% difference between the two groups (with expected lower increase in the group randomized to closure of the LAA) by including 42 patients with 90% power and a 5% risk of type 2 error.…”
