Congestive heart failure (CHF) is one of the most common medical disorders. The prognosis tends to be unfavorable and the quality of care needs further improvement. The aim of the CorBene project is to improve the health-related quality of life and the prognosis in patients in all stages of CHF and to reduce the hospitalization rate. For this purpose a modern collaborative treatment program involving all relevant health care professionals was developed. The key feature is the close collaboration between family physicians, practicing cardiologists, hospitals and rehabilitation facilities. The CorBene model was launched in Cologne and then spread to North-Rhine/Westphalia and to Saarland. Currently, there is the possibility to offer it in all German states. Preliminary analyses confirm an optimal, guideline-based therapy of CHF.

The modulating effect of circulating carbohydrate antigen 125 on ST2 and long-term recurrent morbidity burden.

Soluble ST2 (sST2) is released in response to vascular congestion, inflammation, and pro-fibrotic stimuli. In heart failure (HF), elevated levels of sST2 are associated with a higher risk of adverse clinical outcomes. Emerging evidence suggests that carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) may act as a ligand that modulates the inflammatory response.
