  • Publication number: 20230095167
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for assessing atrial fibrillation in a subject, said method comprising the steps of determining the amount of BMP10 in a sample from the subject, and comparing the amount of BMP10 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 BMP10-type peptide in a sample from a subject. The present invention further pertains to antibodies which bind to one or more BMP10-type peptides such as NT-proBMP10.

  • Patent number: 9138159
    Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for determining an AF complexity value. The method includes applying a template matching algorithm to an ECG signal to obtain a set of candidate deflections and identifying intrinsic deflections within the set of candidate deflections. The method further includes determining a number of intrinsic deflections and a number of far-field deflections within the set of candidate deflections, based on the identified intrinsic deflections, and determining the AF complexity value as a ratio between the number of far-field deflections and the number of intrinsic deflections.
