Abstract
Purpose of review: Heart failure (HF) represents a growing global burden of morbidity and mortality. Identifying individuals at risk for HF development is increasingly important, particularly given the advent of disease-modifying therapies for HF as well as its major risk factors such as obesity actalnd diabetes. We aim to review the key circulating biomarkers associated with future HF which may contribute to HF risk prediction.
Recent findings: While current guidelines recommend the use of natriuretic peptides and cardiac troponins in HF risk stratification, there are a diverse array of other emerging protein, metabolic, transcriptomic, and genomic biomarkers of future HF development. These biomarkers not only lend insight into the underlying pathophysiology of HF, which spans inflammation to cardiac fibrosis, but also offer an opportunity to further refine HF risk in addition to established biomarkers. As evolving techniques in molecular biology enable an increased understanding of the complex biologic contributions to HF pathophysiology, there is an important opportunity to construct integrated clinical and multi-omic models to best capture HF risk. Moving forward, future studies should seek to understand the contributions of sex differences, underlying comorbidity burden, and HF subtypes to an individual's HF risk. Further studies are necessary to fully define the clinical utility of biomarker screening approaches to refine HF risk assessment, as well as to link risk assessment directly to preventive strategies for HF.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of heart failure. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as investigative, pharmacologic, and nonpharmacologic therapies, pathophysiology, and prevention. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
