Current and novel biomarkers in cardiogenic shock

European Journal of Heart Failure

A summary of current and novel biomarkers and their potential stages of release in cardiogenic shock. The diagram illustrates the proposed release of the biomarkers during the different stages of cardiogenic shock: progression from cardiac dysfunction/stress, through to inflammation and end-organ dysfunction.

Circulating miRNA-486 as a novel diagnostic biomarker for right ventricular remodeling

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

ObjectiveClinical practice currently faces a significant shortfall in specific biomarkers needed for diagnosing right ventricular (RV) remodeling in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Among the 12 upregulated miRNAs, miRNA-486 exhibited highest elevation in PAB group and was supposed to be the candidate biomarker for RV modeling.

Circulating bone morphogenetic protein 10 as a novel marker of atrial stress and remodelling in heart failure

Heart BMJ

Background We evaluated the potential of circulating bone morphogenetic protein 10 (BMP10) as a biomarker for atrial stress and remodelling in patients with heart failure (HF), in comparison to N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). We also assessed the predictive value of BMP10 for adverse clinical outcomes.

Heart transplantation and biomarkers: a review about their usefulness in clinical practice

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Advanced heart failure (AdvHF) can only be treated definitively by heart transplantation (HTx), yet problems such right ventricle dysfunction (RVD), rejection, cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV), and primary graft dysfunction (PGD) are linked to a poor prognosis. These biomarkers are typically linked to complications from HTX.

Clinical significance of NT-proBNP as a predictive biomarker of depressive symptoms in cardiac patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

More than half of the patients presented with heart failure (n=2,234, 55.4%), followed by acute myocardial infarction (n=1,368, 34.0%), coronary artery disease (n=674, 16.7%), and acute coronary syndrome (n=164, 4.1%). Approximately, 31.3% (n=1,264) cardiac patients were depressed. Poor ventricular function (26.16.8

This two-step screening process could reduce diabetic heart failure

Becker's Hospital Review - Cardiology

Dallas-based UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers found a two-step screening protocol combining clinical risk assessment with biomarker testing that can identify which patients with Type 2 diabetes need medication to prevent heart failure.
