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.

Elevated serum asprosin and ANGPTL8 gene expression as novel biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of acute coronary syndrome

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Identifying novel biomarkers is crucial to improving early detection and patient classification. Future studies should focus on their integration into clinical practice for enhanced patient outcomes. ng/ml) compared to healthy individuals (3.821.20 ng/ml, P<0.001).

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

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionDepression is a significant comorbidity linked to poor subjective and objective health outcomes in cardiac patients. The paucity of data necessitates further research to elucidate the pathophysiological connection between depression and cardiac diseases in the presence of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP).

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.
