In particular, the levels of NT‐proBNP, d‐dimer, and LAD in the NVAF with stroke group were significantly higher than those in the NVAF group (950.0 [665.3–1536.3] vs. 429.0 [89.6–725.3]; 1.2 [0.6–1.8] vs. 0.4 [0.2–0.8]; 43.1 [±4.7] vs. 37.6 [±6.2], p < .01). This evidence concerns the gene NPPB and Stroke.
