TLDR
The next logical step is to obtain a profile using the seven classes of biomarker described in this issue, which should provide not only a more accurate risk stratification, but it may provide clues to the pathophysiology of HF in any given patient and point the way to individualized therapy.

Plasma norepinephrine is an independent predictor of vascular endothelial function with aging in healthy women

TL;DR: The first evidence that EDD is inversely related to sympathetic activity, as assessed by PNE, among healthy adults varying in age is provided, suggesting that sympathetic nervous system activity may be a key factor involved in the modulation of vascular endothelial function with aging in women.
Journal ArticleDOI

The inflammatory biomarker YKL-40 as a new prognostic marker for all-cause mortality in patients with heart failure

TL;DR: Serum YKL-40 is significantly associated with all-cause mortality in patients with HF and could potentially be a new prognostic biomarker in these patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential application of the oxidative nucleic acid damage biomarkers in detection of diseases

TL;DR: The relationship of oxidative nucleic acid damage and development of various diseases including cancers including cancers, lung cancer, epithelial ovarian carcinoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinomas, neurodegenerative disorders and chronic diseases were reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

New Management Strategies in Heart Failure

TL;DR: This review will summarize newer drugs currently being used in the treatment of heart failure, as well as newer strategies increasingly explored for their utility during the stages of the heart failure syndrome.

Use of Multiple Biomarkers to Improve the Prediction of Death from Cardiovascular Causes

TL;DR: It is suggested that in elderly men with or without prevalent cardiovascular disease, the simultaneous addition of several biomarkers of cardiovascular and renal abnormalities substantially improves the risk stratification for death from cardiovascular causes beyond that of a model that is based only on established risk factors.

Multimarker Approach to Risk Stratification in Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes: Simultaneous Assessment of Troponin I, C-Reactive Protein, and B-Type Natriuretic Peptide

TL;DR: Troponin, CRP, and BNP each provide unique prognostic information in patients with ACS and a simple multimarker strategy that categorizes patients based on the number of elevated biomarkers at presentation allows risk stratification over a broad range of short- and long-term major cardiac events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic Value of Very Low Plasma Concentrations of Troponin T in Patients With Stable Chronic Heart Failure

TL;DR: In this large population of patients with HF, detectable cTnT predicts adverse outcomes in chronic HF by the highly sensitive assay, which retains a prognostic value at previously undetectable concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiac Troponin I Is Associated With Impaired Hemodynamics, Progressive Left Ventricular Dysfunction, and Increased Mortality Rates in Advanced Heart Failure

TL;DR: cTnI may be a novel, useful tool in identifying patients with HF who are at increased risk for progressive ventricular dysfunction and death, and used in conjunction with BNP further improved prognostic value.
