BIOMARKERS OF MYOCARDIAL STRESS, FIBROSIS AND RENAL DYSFUNCTION: RELATIONSHIPS IN PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE WITH REDUCED AND PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION
Heart failure is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity throughout the world. Biomarkers natriuretic peptides in particular have been studied to assist the diagnosis, management and prognosis in patients with heart failure. Several new biomarkers that reflect various pathogenetic mechanisms and can improve risk prediction and stratification. This study assesses the correlation of biomarkers of myocardial stress, fibrosis and renal dysfunction in patients with heart failure with a different ejection fraction.
