Predicted 5-year risk of atrial fibrillation is 1–0.9496e(ΣXβ), where β is the regression coefficient and X is the level for each risk factor listed above. ACEi, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide; hsTnT, high-sensitivity troponin T.
