  The prevalence of heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF) rises consequently within past decades. Both phenotypes of HF, i.e. HFpEF and HF with reduced EF (HFrEF), have exhibited similar cardiovascular mortality rates and admission rates, while development and progression of HFpEF and HFrEF associate with different co-morbidities. Understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of the two phenotypes of HF is essential for discovery of future new treatments. Biomarkers reflecting several stages of failing heart evolution and different pathophysiological faces of HF (N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide, high-sensitivity troponin T, and galectin-3) have been implemented into routine clinical practice to increase diagnostic and predictive capabilities of clinical-based stratification models. Recent clinical studies have .. Read More»
