Association of baseline and longitudinal changes in insulin‐like growth factor‐binding protein‐7 with the risk of incident heart failure: Data from the PREVEND study

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Insulin‐like growth factor‐binding protein‐7 (IGFBP7) and heart failure (HF) risk: the PREVEND study. CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio. Abstract Aim Senescence is a major risk factor for heart failure (HF), and insulin‐like growth factor‐binding protein‐7 (IGFBP7) has been identified as an important senescence‐inducing factor.

A note on duality theorems in mass transportation [PDF]

Journal of Theoretical Probability, 2019, 2019
The duality theory of the Monge-Kantorovich transport problem is investigated in an abstract measure theoretic framework. Let $(\mathcal{X},\mathcal{F},\mu)$ and $(\mathcal{Y},\mathcal{G},\nu)$ be any probability spaces and $c:\mathcal{X}\times\mathcal{Y}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ a measurable cost function such that $f_1+g_1\le c\le f_2+g_2$ for some $f_1,

Proteomic biomarkers and pathway analysis for progression to heart failure in three epidemiological representative cohorts

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Markers of progression to heart failure (HF). Gal‐4, galectin‐4; GDF‐15, growth differentiation factor 15; NT‐proBNP, N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide; ST2, suppression of tumorigenicity‐2. ABSTRACT Aims Biomarkers associated with asymptomatic ventricular dysfunction might improve risk stratification and identify pathways leading to heart ...

Current and novel biomarkers in cardiogenic shock

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
A summary of current and novel biomarkers and their potential stages of release in cardiogenic shock. The diagram illustrates the proposed release of the biomarkers during the different stages of cardiogenic shock: progression from cardiac dysfunction/stress, through to inflammation and end‐organ dysfunction.

Evaluation of Serum Cystatin C as an Indicator of Glomerular Filtration Rate and its Correlations to other Biomarkers in Detection of Pre-eclampsia. [PDF]

, 2016
Background: The Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is the best indicator of renal function. Serum cystatin C has been introduced as an endogenous marker of GFR. However, there are conflicting reports regarding its use in pregnancy and pre-eclampsia.
