Heart failure goes beyond mechanical dysfunction and involves an interplay of multiple pathophysiologic mechanisms, including inflammation, tissue remodeling, neurohormonal and endocrine signaling, and interactions with the renal and nervous systems. This article highlights some novel biomarkers that may aid in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of acute heart failure, specifically focusing on ST2, endoglin, galectin-3, cystatin C, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, midregional pro-adrenomedullin, chromogranin A, adiponectin, resistin, and leptin and their emerging clinical roles.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) is a common subtype of heart failure with morbidity and mortality similar to that of heart failure with systolic dysfunction. This article discusses the numerous biomarkers that promise to play a substantial role in terms of our ability to understand the mechanisms of HFPEF and discern possible phenotypes that respond to targeted therapies: natriuretic peptides, high-sensitivity troponins, galectin-3, soluble ST2, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, and cystatin C.

Cardiorenal syndromes are disorders of the heart and kidneys whereby dysfunction in one organ may lead to dysfunction in the other organ. Cardiorenal syndrome type I (CRS I) is defined as acute kidney injury caused by acute cardiac dysfunction such as acute decompensated heart failure and acute coronary syndrome. Traditional markers like serum creatinine may delay the diagnosis of acute kidney injury and provide limited information regarding the underlying pathophysiology in the setting of CRS I. Herein, we briefly review some emerging biomarkers, including brain natriuretic peptide, soluble ST2, angiopoietin, soluble thrombomodulin, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, kidney injury molecule-1, cystatin C, interleukin-18 and calprotectin. These biomarkers may help early detecting, differential diagnosis, assessing disease severity and prognosis in patients with CRS I, therefore improve patient management and outcomes.
