In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), left atrial (LA) enlargement, and the presence of low‐voltage areas (LVAs) indicate an advanced disease stage. NT‐proANP is a biomarker, which is significantly higher in both phenotypes. Prediction of LVAs before catheter ablation could impact the prognosis and therapeutical management in AF patients.
