Circulating Biomarkers in Cardiovascular Disease
According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, a biomarker is ‘a distinctive biological or biologically derived indicator (as a metabolite) of a process, event, or condition (as aging, disease, or oil formation)’ [1]. A biomarker can be structural, such as mammography or a coronary calcium scan, or functional, such as glomerular filtration rate or blood pressure, but the term biomarker is ...
متن کاملMyocardial Biomarkers for Prediction of Cardiovascular Disease
The identification of those persons in the population who have the highest risk of future cardiovascular events is important for targeting intensive preventive efforts. This can be reliably done using a handful of long since established risk factors. The unmet need for new molecular biomarkers for prediction of cardiovascular events in the general population is therefore low. In order for a new...
متن کاملMicroparticles as Potential Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Disease
Primary prevention of cardiovascular disease is a choice of great relevance because of its impact on health. Some biomarkers, such as microparticles derived from different cell populations, have been considered useful in the assessment of cardiovascular disease. Microparticles are released by the membrane structures of different cell types upon activation or apoptosis, and are present in the pl...
متن کاملAdvances in Cardiovascular Imaging Imaging Biomarkers in Atherosclerosis Trials
Atherosclerosis and its thrombotic complications are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries, and the burden of atherosclerotic disease is expected to increase even further in the coming decades due to soaring obesity rates that feed the diabetes epidemic. There is, therefore, a clear need for new drugs targeting atherosclerosis to add to our current therapeutic arma...
