Will the Early Use of Biomarkers Prevent the Development of Heart Failure?

Eugene E Wolfel. J Card Fail. 2018 Sep.

Abstract

Alterations in biomarkers are associated with the development and progression of heart failure. As indicated by the study of Ergatoudes and colleagues in the current issue of this journal, biomarkers may also be the first sign of increased risk of developing heart failure. Prior studies also suggest that elevations in certain biomarkers can lead to more frequent clinical surveillance and initiation of therapeutic strategies that may prevent or delay the development of heart failure.

Keywords: Biomarkers; heart failure; high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; natriuretic peptides.
