Abstract:
Proteomics in heart failure (HF) is aimed to study and identify proteins involved in the pathophysiology of this clinical syndrome. Proteins have a role as diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic markers. This review will unravel the developments and impact of proteomics in HF, focusing on its role in the diagnosis, prognosis and definition of new HF therapies. Proteomics promises to change our approach to HF in the near future, accepting the need for precision medicine, tailored on the characteristics of the single patient.
