- Elevated serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) levels are associated with increased risk of major vascular events in atrial fibrillation patients.
- Higher sNfL concentrations correlate with nonfatal stroke, cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, and all-cause mortality.
- No significant association was found between sNfL levels and myocardial infarction risk.
- Study suggests sNfL as a potential biomarker for cardiovascular risk assessment in atrial fibrillation patients.
