Background: Natriuretic peptides and suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) represent two different physiopathological pathways. We evaluated the prognostic accuracy and complementarity of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and soluble ST2 (sST2) plasma levels at discharge from a hospital admission for acute heart failure, both in patients with preserved (HFpEF) and depressed (HFrEF) systolic function. Methods and...


Prognostic Value of Osteoprotegerin in Acute Heart Failure

Friões, F; Rocha, OL; Almeida, PB; Silva, N; Guimarães, JT; Omland, T; Azevedo, A; Bettencourt, P

Background: Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is promising as a predictor of adverse prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndromes and chronic heart failure. Its prognostic value in acute heart failure (AHF) is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value provided by serum OPG levels at discharge after an admission for AHF. Methods: In a prospective study, we enrolled 338 patients consecutively a...
