Περίληψη:
Inflammation has been established as an important determinant of
cardiovascular disease progression. Currently, clinical examination,
laboratory and imaging tests are invaluable for the diagnosis, prognosis
and disease monitoring. Novel inflammatory biomarkers are also used to
better restratify patients in risk groups but their potential to guide
treatment decisions and management of patients has not been extensively
evaluated. Therefore, in this review article we present the most recent
data concerning the use of inflammatory biomarkers in cardiovascular
therapeutics.
