COURSE OF POST COVID-19 DISEASE IN HEART FAILURE PATIENTS WITH MODERATELY REDUCED LEFT VENTRICULAR EJECTION FRACTION.

In this study, we assessed the impact of COVID-19 on the course of HFmrEF by determining the biomarkers furin and NT-proBNP, questionnaires (EQ-5D-5L), and cardiac ultrasound. A comprehensive examination of 72 patients with HFmrEF (main group) and 18 apparently healthy individuals (control group). The main group was divided into two subgroups depending on the history of coronavirus disease.

Influence of various risk factors on the level of ST2 biomarker in patients with heart failure and diabetes mellitus type 2.

Unlabelled: Heart failure (HF) despite the progress in treatment remains the main health problem worldwide. Biomarker ST2 is currently being studied in patients with HF due to its high potential predictive value and promising prospects for use as a component of biomarker-controlled therapy. The factors that can impact on the ST2 biomarker level in diabetic patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are still not well known.
