Categories of Biomarkers according to FDA-NIH BEST

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

BEST (Biomarkers, EndpointS, and other Tools) Resource is a FDA-NIH Joint Leadership Council initiative. There is some deviation from our conventional understanding of biomarkers in this concept by FDA-NIH BEST, initiated in 2016 and last updated January 7, 2025.

The relationships between inflammatory biomarkers, plaque characteristics, and macrophage clusters in coronary plaque: a quantitative assessment of macrophages based on optical coherence tomography

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Patients with macrophage clusters showed markedly higher levels of inflammatory biomarkers and plaque vulnerability. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that MHR, lipid index, and microchannel were independently associated with the presence of macrophage clusters.

CLU, FOS, and CXCL8 as diagnostic biomarkers for heart failure progression post-acute myocardial infarction: an integrated RNA-Seq and multi-machine learning study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

We aimed to identify PBMCs-related critical genes as diagnostic biomarkers for HFpAMI and analyze the immune infiltration patterns.MethodsDifferential expression genes (DEGs) from PBMCs microarray data of AMI with or without HF were identified. Functional enrichment analysis was used to explore the biological roles of DEGs.

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.

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).

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.

New evidence on the relationship between moderate wine consumption and cardiovascular health

Science Daily - Stroke

The study is based on the analysis of a biomarker of wine intake -- specifically, tartaric acid, present in grapes. Light and moderate consumption of wine is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular complications, according to a multicenter study.
