Background: Increased serum levels of carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), a tumor marker associated with ovarian cancer, have also been reported in other malignant and non-malignant diseases. We assessed the correlation of the CA125 serum levels with the severity of congestive heart failure (CHF) and investigated their potential prognostic value in relation to major cardiovascular events.
Methods: CA125 levels were measured in 95 male patients aged 70+/-10 years, admitted for decompensated CHF.
