Analysis of Fast Atrial Rhythm Manifesting with Increased Urination

Overview

About this study

The objective of this study is to investigate this phenomenon by identifying such patients and analyze this relationship using biomarkers (blood and urine signal proteins) related to volume control such as pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (pro-ANP), N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), cyclic-GMP (a downstream second messenger for natriuretic peptides) and copeptin (the pre-pro-hormone of antidiuretic hormone).
