Surfactant-derived proteins as markers of alveolar membrane damage in heart failure.

Surfactant-derived proteins as markers of alveolar membrane damage in heart failure.

In heart failure (HF) alveolar-capillary membrane is abnormal. Surfactant-derived proteins (SPs) and plasma receptor for advanced-glycation-end-products (RAGE) have been proposed as lung damage markers.Eighty-nine chronic HF and 17 healthy subjects were evaluated by echocardiography, blood parameter...
