β-Trace Protein and Prognosis in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Receiving Anticoagulation Treatment

The Effect of Beta-Trace Protein on Diagnosis and Prognosis in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome

“…Patients with a known renal disease were not included in the study. These results demonstrate that the increase in BTP level is associated with renal failure [7,[17][18]. This difference in our results can be attributed to the exclusion of patients with known renal disease.…”

“…In a study conducted to evaluate the relationship between BTP and cardiovascular side effects, mortality, and hemorrhage in patients with AF, BTP levels and GFR were found to be negatively correlated. High BTP levels were found to be significantly correlated with the development of cardiovascular side effects and mortality in embolic events [18].…”

sST2 levels are associated with all‐cause mortality in anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation

“…But finally, sST2 may reflect both inflammation and cardiac stretch, being a strong and independent outcome predictor in our population of AF. Importantly, this evidence that sST2 provides additive prognostic value could add information to clinical variables and to other biomarkers as we recently published in a similar AF cohort [25,26]. This could be essential in clinical practice for clinicians who currently have to use clinical information with several scoring systems to manage their patients.…”

Serum Beta‐Trace Protein as a Novel Predictor of Pregnancy‐Induced Hypertension

“…9,17 Interestingly, one study has demonstrated that higher BTP levels could predict adverse cardiovascular events, mortality, and major bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation receiving anticoagulation treatment. 22 These observations suggest that BTP may be implicated in the progression of cardiovascular diseases. In agreement with this, a number of studies have reported prognostic value for BTP in coronary heart disease 23 and acute heart failure.…”

“…BTP has also been found in vascular endothelial cells in the systemic atherosclerotic artery and is related to coronary spasm and atherosclerosis . Interestingly, one study has demonstrated that higher BTP levels could predict adverse cardiovascular events, mortality, and major bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation receiving anticoagulation treatment . These observations suggest that BTP may be implicated in the progression of cardiovascular diseases.…”
