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.
