Prognostic Value of Soluble ST2 in the Valsartan Heart Failure Trial

Prognostic value of soluble ST2 in the Valsartan Heart Failure Trial.

BACKGROUND Soluble ST2 (sST2), a biomarker related to inflammation, is associated with outcomes of patients with heart failure. In-depth analyses of the relationship among sST2, changes in sST2, and patient outcomes are reported. METHODS AND RESULTS sST2 was measured at baseline (n=1650), 4 months (n=1345), and 12 months (n=1094) in Valsartan Heart Failure Trial. Baseline sST2 averaged 28.7±1...

Prognostic Value of Soluble ST2 (sST2) Serum Levels in Infants and Children with Heart Failure Complicating Congenital Heart Disease

Background Heart failure (HF) in infants and children with congenital heart disease (CHD) is a crucial complication with different outcomes. Many biomarkers are used as prognostic indicators. Soluble ST2 (sST2) is one of these markers studied in adults with HF. We aimed to study the prognostic value of sST2 in CHD children with HF. Materials and Methods In current case-control study, thirty-six...

The Prognostic Value of Plasma Soluble ST2 in Hospitalized Chinese Patients with Heart Failure

BACKGROUND sST2 has been shown to be a risk predictor in heart failure (HF). Our aim was to explore the characteristics and prognostic value of soluble ST2 (sST2) in hospitalized Chinese patients with HF. METHODS AND RESULTS We consecutively enrolled 1528 hospitalized patients with HF. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis were used to ass...

Soluble ST2: A Novel Prognostic Biomarker of Heart Failure.

Previous studies have demonstrated the role of ST2 in predicting hospitalization and mortality in heart failure, independent of natriuretic peptides and other clinical variables. 9-17 In 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) delared the Presage ST2 Assay (Critical Diagnostics, San Diego, California, USA), which is typically used in conjunction with clinical evaluation as an aid in a...
