Mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin and ST2 in heart failure: Contributions to diagnosis and prognosis

Heart failure has a high prevalence in developed countries. It is a frequent cause of hospital admission and has an important impact on morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. Biomarkers have been widely studied in heart failure, as they improve diagnosis and prognostic assessment. Natriuretic pe...
