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

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

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 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.

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. Traditional markers such as cardiac troponins have limitations, including delayed detectability in blood samples, necessitating the search for better alternatives. ng/ml) compared to healthy individuals (3.821.20 ng/ml, P<0.001).

Analysis and validation of biomarkers and immune cell infiltration profiles in unstable coronary atherosclerotic plaques using bioinformatics and machine learning

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Additionally, HSPA2 and GEM showed significant associations with a wide range of immune cells.DiscussionHSPA2 and GEM can function as diagnostic biomarkers for unstable coronary atherosclerotic plaques. IntroductionDecreased stability of coronary atherosclerotic plaques correlates with a heightened risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
