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.

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).

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.

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

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

As a result, numerous biomarkers have been investigated in an effort to identify and prevent certain diseases sooner. These biomarkers are typically linked to complications from HTX. We also highlight the relationships between each biomarker and one or more problems, as well as their applicability in routine clinical practice.
