Molecular Diagnostics in Heart Failure: From Biomarkers to Personalized Medicine

Heart failure (HF) is a global health burden characterized by high morbidity and mortality, necessitating advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Molecular diagnostics, encompassing genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and epigenetics, offer unprecedented insights into HF pathogenesis, aiding early diagnosis, risk stratification, and personalized management. This state-of-the-art review critically examines recent developments in molecular diagnostics in HF, evaluates their translational potential, and highlights key challenges in clinical implementation. Emerging tools such as liquid biopsy, multi-omics integration, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven platforms are explored. We propose strategies to enhance clinical translation, equity in access, and utility in guiding treatment, thereby advancing precision cardiovascular medicine
