High-sensitivity C-reactive protein may serve as a useful biomarker for predicting incident heart failure, prognosis, and disease severity.
A lot of mechanisms in development and progression of cardiac dysfunction are associated with changes of multiple markers and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein is one of them. The role of this inflammatory marker in heart failure pathogenesis requires further study. However, various recent reports have suggested that C-reactive protein assessment may be used for prediction of incident heart failure, its prognosis and estimation of the disease severity.
