Abstract

Purpose of Review

Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading causes of cardiac morbidity and mortality around the world. Our evolving understanding of the cellular and molecular pathways of HF has led to the identification and evaluation of a growing number of HF biomarkers. Natriuretic peptides remain the best studied and understood HF biomarkers, with demonstrated clinical utility in the diagnosis and prognostication of HF. Less commonly understood is the utility of HF biomarkers for guiding and monitoring treatment response. In this review, we outline the current HF biomarker landscape and identify novel biomarkers that have potential to influence HF treatment response.

Recent Findings

An increasing number of biomarkers have been identified through the study of HF mechanisms. While these biomarkers hold promise, they have not yet been proven to be effective in guiding HF therapy.

Summary

A more developed understanding of HF mechanisms has resulted in an increased number of available pharmacologic HF therapies. In the past, biomarkers have been useful for the diagnosis and prognostication of HF. Future evaluation on their use to guide pharmacologic therapy is ongoing, and there is promise that biomarker-guided therapy will allow clinicians to begin personalizing treatment for their HF patients.
