Keywords:

  • biomarkers in heart failure;
  • heart failure (HF), serious public health matters in modern medicine;
  • Natriuretic peptides (NP), released by cardiac myocytes - in response to wall stress from intravascular volume expansion;
  • desired properties - of ideal biomarker;
  • natriuretic peptide subtypes and their actions;
  • synthesis and processing of B-type natriuretic peptide;
  • non-NP biomarkers of interest in heart failure;
  • MR-proADM, new biomarker - reflecting myocardial stretch, increasing in patients with HF;
  • neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL);
  • biomarker role, emerging as important tool - in basic and clinical heart failure
