A biomarker refers to a traceable substance which is introduced into an organism for examining organ function and other facets of health. They are compounds that do not include urine, serum, or other fluids. Specifically, biomarkers are used as indicators for determining the existence of a specific disease and its severity. They are also helpful in comprehending the molecular mechanisms of various disease conditions. In the field of cardiology, biomarkers like natiuretic peptides, and troponins have played a major role in clinical decision-making. Cardiac biomarkers reflect injury and myocyte load which is significant for managing acute coronary syndromes and heart failure. Important cardiac biomarkers include peptides, myocardial enzymes, myocardial proteins, and other molecules. Biomarkers, in cardiology, are critical for risk assessment, diagnosis, prognosis, and management of cardiovascular diseases. This book elucidates prospective developments with respect to biomarkers in cardiology. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
