Heart failure and inflammation-related biomarkers as predictors of new-onset diabetes in the general population

Sex‐specific associations of obesity and N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide levels in the general population

“…Another 309 participants were excluded due to incomplete data (absent NT‐proBNP measurements or incomplete data recorded on obesity‐related parameters), leaving 8260 participants for final analysis (online supplementary Figure S1 ). An in‐depth description of the PREVEND study can be found elsewhere . The PREVEND study was conducted according to the principles drafted in the Helsinki declaration.…”

Sex‐related differences in contemporary biomarkers for heart failure: a review

“…Galectin-3 was significantly associated with incident HF in community-dwelling individuals from the FHS (n = 3353) 75 and FINRISK (n = 8444) 77 studies, but not in the PREVEND cohort (n = 8569). 150,151 In a recent meta-analysis of 18 studies (n = 32 350), 80 as well as in a pooled analysis of four community-based cohorts (n = 22 756), 53 galectin-3 remained associated with incident HF. However, none of these studies evaluated sex-specific associations of galectin-3 with incident HF as the primary outcome.…”

T cell and monocyte/macrophage activation markers associate with adverse outcome, but give limited prognostic value in anemic patients with heart failure: results from RED-HF

“…However, we have previously shown in the present RED-HF population that although CRP is associated with poor prognosis following adjustment for conventional risk factors (i.e. Patients with HF and diabetes have particularly poor outcome and increased inflammatory burden [12,25] as also observed for sCD163 and sIL-2R in diabetes patients in the present population. However, we found no evidence of increased risk in diabetic patients.…”
