The review is devoted to the diagnostic and prognostic role of cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) in patients with acute and chronic heart failure (CHF). The article provides information on the main regulatory effect of CT-1 in relation to the processes of cardiovascular remodeling. We considered the prospects of monitoring the plasma concentration of CT-1for the individualization of the assessment of cardiovascular risk in patients with CHF at various stages of the cardiovascular continuum. MeSH words: heart failure, cardiotrophin-1, hypertrophy, fibrosis, cytokines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
