Procalcitonin: a marker of heart failure

Acta Cardiologica, 2015
Serum procalcitonin levels are associated with congestive heart failure, but are not established biomarkers of the disease. We evaluated the predictive value of serum procalcitonin levels for diagnosing heart failure and assessing its severity.This retrospective, case-control study involved 59 subjects (mean age 59.7-10.1 years; 38 males), including 21

Variation of Procalcitonin Level in Elective Cardiac Surgery at a Tertiary Cardiac Centre: A Prospective Longitudinal Study. [PDF]

Health Sci Rep
ABSTRACT Background Procalcitonin (PCT) levels often rise after cardiac surgery due to an ongoing postoperative inflammatory response. The changes in PCT levels are useful for the early detection of postoperative infections. We assessed the variation of procalcitonin levels in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery at the leading tertiary cardiac
