Heart Failure (HF) constitutes a major global health problem, evidenced by substantial morbidity and mortality, requiring enormous healthcare-related expenditure. HF is associated with high symptomatic burden, and with a relentless and progressive clinical course towards end-stage disease. A large body of epidemiological data suggests that the prognosis in HF is as poor as in advanced cancer.1…

Cardiac troponin (cTn) is the core biomarker for the diagnosis of a myocardial infarct (MI).1 Indeed, as stated in Table 1, it meets all the definitions of a biomarker for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), as suggested by Maisel.2 In the setting of ACS, in addition to its diagnostic use, it is prognostic, clinically actionable and can be monitored during therapy as a surrogate of improvement. In…

From Acute Heart Failure Towards Worsening or De Novo Heart Failure
The natural history of heart failure (HF) is characterised by disease progression and episodes of worsening HF and acute decompensation requiring outpatient treatment intensification, emergency department or in-hospital care.
Acute HF (AHF), also known as acute decompensated HF, is defined as a progressive and sometimes rapid…

The development of heart failure is rarely dependent on primary alterations of cardiac metabolism. The majority of heart failure cases result from diseases of the cardiac muscle, most frequently ischaemic heart disease. However, whatever the cause of heart failure, the net result will be depletion of myocardial adenosine triphosphate (ATP), phosphocreatine and creatine kinase levels with…

Heart failure (HF) and cancer represent two major causes of morbidity and mortality in developed countries.1,2 The prevalence of these conditions is growing as the age of the population and the burden of shared risk factors, such as diabetes and obesity, are constantly increasing. In past decades, the field of cardio-oncology has predominantly focused on prevention and treatment of cardiovascular…
