New biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases (literature review). Part 1

Laboratory biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases play a crucial role in confirming the diagnosis, establishing the prognosis of patients, and correcting therapy. Therefore, the search for new cardiovascular diseases biomarkers, as well as the study and clarification of their clinical and diagnostic value, is an important task of modern healthcare. This article discusses the clinical and diagnostic value of new cardiovascular diseases biomarkers. The classification of cardiovascular diseases biomarkers is given. In a comparative aspect, new markers specific to myocardial tissue (highly sensitive cardiac troponins) are considered. Some new non-myocardial tissue-specific markers, in particular myeloperoxidase, are also discussed.
