Biomarkers in Acute Cardiac Disease
The use of biomarkers to aid diagnosis and treatment is increasing rapidly as genomics and proteomics help us expand the number of markers we can use and as an improved understanding of the pathophysiology of cardiac disease guides their use. However, as with all rapidly expanding fields, there is the risk of excessive enthusiasm unless we are circumspect about the data that guide the clinical ...
متن کاملBiomarkers in acute cardiac disease.
In their state-of-the-art paper on biomarkers in acute cardiac disease (1), Dr. Jaffe and colleagues list creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) as a “potentially outdated marker.” However, CK-MB has a specific utility in the diagnosis of reinfarction (2), and it cannot be replaced by the cardiac troponins for this purpose. By following up the time course of rise and fall of CK-MB, an interruption in the p...
متن کاملCardiac Biomarkers for Early Detection of Cardiac Involvement in Children with Kawasaki Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is one of the most prevalent vasculitis diseases in children and can bring about serious cardiovascular complications. Early detection of cardiac involvement in KD can play an essential role in managing and preventing the cardiac sequels. We aimed to evaluate the applicability and diagnostic accuracy of cardiac biomarkers including car...
متن کاملCardiac Biomarkers in End-Stage Renal Disease
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) often suffer from cardiovascular complications and comorbidities. For example, 55% of ESRD patients suffer from congestive heart failure (CHF) and cardiovascular diseases account for the majority of deaths among ESRD patients (Herzog, Ma, & Collins, 1998; National Institutes of Health; National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases;...
متن کاملCardiac biomarkers and acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery.
OBJECTIVES To examine the relationship of cardiac biomarkers with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) among pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS Data from TRIBE-AKI, a prospective study of children undergoing cardiac surgery, were used to examine the association of cardiac biomarkers (N-type pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, creatine kinase-MB [CK-MB], heart-type fatty aci...
