GROWTH DIFFERENTIATION FACTOR 15 AS A PROGNOSTIC MARKER OF CHRONIC HEART FAILURE PROGRESSION IN LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP AFTER ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME.
2017
Acute coronary syndrome remains a significant problem for cardiologists. Despite improved therapy, mortality remains extremely high once CHF becomes symptomatic. Multimarker approach in cardiovascular risk prediction was proved as the most effective tool. One of the promising biomarkers is a stress-induced marker growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15). Purpose of the study was to improve stratification methods of CHF progression risk as a complication of ACS by studying levels of GDF-15. In our study we showed association between high level of GDF-15, determined at the first 24 hours after ACS, and CHF progression after 12 months.
