Novel Biomarkers Predict the Development of Incident Heart Failure

 Heart failure (HF), caused by abnormal cardiac structure and function, represents the end stage of several cardiac diseases, and significantly worsens both quality of life and life expectancy with a five year survival rate of approximately 50%. Lifetime risk of the development of HF is 20% and overall prevalence 2%. More...

Osteopontin Linked to Progressive Lung Scarring in Scleroderma Patients

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a distinct pathogenic triad of microvascular damage, dysregulation of innate and adaptive immunity, and fibrosis involving skin and many internal organs, such as the heart, kidney, and lungs. More...
