Description
Summary:The objective of this review was to assess the use of heart failure biomarkers in China. The literature of the commonly-used and new heart failure biomarkers had been reviewed in China. It is concluded that not only to consider the use of the new markers, but to study the combination use of the markers and/or other indexes would be the next step for a future heart failure study. Also, individualized and combinational use of the heart failure markers might be the most fitting to adapt to the developmental changes in China.
