A Biomarker for Heart-Failure Patients
Differences in the hearts of patients with advanced heart failure may indicate which patients would benefit most from cardiac recovery therapies. The finding, by experts at the University of Utah, was published in the journal Circulation. “Based on everything a doctor would traditionally measure, these patients look equally sick,” says co-senior author and cardiologist Stavros… Continue reading A Biomarker for Heart-Failure Patients
Patterns of Biomarkers Predict How Well People Age
Levels of specific biomarkers, or chemicals found in the blood, can be combined to produce patterns that signify how well a person is aging and his or her risk for future aging-related diseases. That is the finding of a research done at the Boston University Schools of Public Health and Medicine and Boston Medical Center.… Continue reading Patterns of Biomarkers Predict How Well People Age
