Serum Soluble ST2 and Diastolic Dysfunction in Hypertensive Patients
BACKGROUND Echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular (LV) structural and functional alterations in hypertension has some limitations, potentially overcome by using biomarkers. ST2, a prognostic biomarker for heart failure and myocardial infarction patients, was less studied in hypertension. AIM To analyze the relationship between serum ST2 levels and diastolic dysfunction (DD) in hyper...
متن کاملIs Subclinical Thyroid Dysfunction Associated With with Coronary Heart Disease?
Introduction: Previous cohort studies reported contradictory data on the association between subclinical thyroid dysfunction and coronary heart disease (CHD). Regarding this, the present study was conducted to illuminate this relationship. Materials and Methods: For the purpose of the study, 3,066 participants employed in a study conducted by Azizi et al. aged ≥ 20 years were subjected to thyro...
متن کاملFactors associated with the functional independence level in older adults
Introduction: Functional independence in old age refers to active presence in daily life. One of the best ways to evaluate the functional independence of elderly is assessing the level of activities. This study aims to determine the status of functional independence in performing instrumental and daily activities as well as its related factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was cond...
متن کاملSoluble ST2 and Galectin-3: What We Know and Don’t Know Analytically
The proteins soluble ST2 (sST2) and galectin-3 are currently gaining mounting interest as candidate biomarkers in cardiac disease. Both, sST2 and galectin-3 have been included in the 2013 ACCF/AHA guideline for additive risk stratification of patients with acute and chronic heart failure. The aim of this review is to provide information on analytical considerations of measuring circulating sST2...
متن کاملBiomarkers Beyond the Natriuretic Peptides for Chronic Heart Failure: Galectin-3 and Soluble ST2
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and NT-proBNP are widely used plasma biomarkers for the diagnosis of acute decompensated heart failure and prognosis for future cardiac disease. The clinical performance of these tests for management of chronic heart failure is somewhat limited by the markers' high biological variation. Biomarkers such as galectin-3 and soluble ST2 that reflect ongoing remodelin...
