Novel Cardiac Biomarkers Enhancing Diagnosis, Risk Stratification, and Prognostication in Heart Failure

Key Findings from the Study: Recent research assessed the role of multiple biomarkers in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD), revealing their potential in HF diagnosis and risk assessment.

  • High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin I cTnI Elevated levels correlate with myocardial injury and increased mortality risk.
  • N-terminal Pro B-Type Natriuretic Peptide NT-proBNPA key indicator of HF severity and patient prognosis.
  • Interleukin-6 IL-6 Associated with inflammation, its elevated levels indicate higher risk of adverse cardiac events.
  • Endothelin-1 ET-1 Plays a role in cardiac hypertrophy and myocardial cell injury.
  • Pro-Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 pMMP-9Contributes to left ventricular remodeling and progression of HF.

Integrating Biomarkers in Clinical Practice: Given their diagnostic and prognostic utility, clinicians may consider incorporating these biomarkers into routine HF assessment protocols. Their early detection capabilities may also aid in timely intervention and improved patient outcomes.
