| Description: |
Suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (ST2) is a relatively new biomarker that is believed to reflect myocardial wall stress and activation of the fibrosis pathway. Suppression of tumorigenicity-2 is a strong predictor of cardiovascular mortality and rehospitalization in both acute and chronic heart failure (HF). Suppression of tumorigenicity-2 has a prognostic value independent of natriuretic peptides (NPs) and some studies have shown it is even superior in terms of risk of stratification. It is the most promising biomarker in the field of HF since the introduction of NPs. The main objective of future research is to determine if ST2-guided therapy would have a benefit on patient symptoms and HF progression |
