| Summary: | It has been widely demonstrated that patients diagnosed with chronic heart failure present high levels of circulating neurohormones and inflammation markers which can secondarily induce an increase of the level of tumor markers such as CA 125, AFP, CEA, CA 15.3 or CA 19-9. This is a literature review regarding the benefits of determination of tumor markers serum levels in cases presenting chronic heart failure. |
