Purpose: To assess the suppression of tumorogenicity 2 (ST2) and copeptin significance for risk stratification of patient (pts) with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) during long-term follow-up compared with traditional risk factors.
Methods: We included in a prospective study 159 pts with ADHF. Blood samples to determine copeptin, sST2, NT-proBNP and hsTnT concentration were collected at admission and at discharge from the hospital. Serial determination of biomarker concentration was performed at 3, 6 and 12 months of follow-up. The combined primary end point of the trial included cardiovascular (CV) death, hospitalization due to HF, episodes of HF deterioration requiring additional intravenous diuretics and CV death with successful resuscitation.
Results: During 1-year follow-up (295.3±113.2 days) 56 pts (35.2%) had 78 (49.1%) cardiovascular events. Biomarker concentrations in low risk pts (without CV events) were significantly lower compared with high risk pts (with CV events). Discharge copeptin and NT-proBNP values were comparable for pts risk stratification: AUC=0.727 (95% CI 0.637-0.816), р.

The Mustard procedure was an early cardiac surgery for transposition of the great arteries (TGA). Despite being successful, it has been associated with long-term arrhythmias and heart failure. A key factor complicating management in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) is the deficiency of biomarkers predicting outcome.

Introduction: Cardiovascular events (CVE) remain the leading cause of mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. The ability to assess the risk of short-term CVE is of great importance. Soluble suppression of tumorogenicity-2 (sST2) is a novel biomarker that better stratifies risk of CVE than troponins in patients with heart failure.

Objectives: The diagnosis of cardiovascular involvement in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is usually delayed since conventional echocardiography relies mainly on the morphological alterations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of echocardiographic methods such as tissue Doppler and strain imaging of left ventricle (LV) and proximal aorta; and concentrations of biomarkers of cardiac fibrosis such as galectin-3 (Gal-3) and soluble suppression-of-tumorogenicity-2 (sST2) in determining early cardiovascular impairment in AS.
Design: In this prospective study of 75 AS and 30 healthy subjects (mean age 41.

Background: Soluble suppression of tumorogenicity 2 (sST2) has been shown to be of prognostic value in patients with chronic and acute left heart failure. The present study aims to assess the predictive value of sST2 levels in adult patients with complex congenital heart disease (CHD).
Methods: In 169 consecutive patients with complex CHD and a mean age of 28.
