Современные биомаркеры позволяют диагностировать широкий спектр патологических процессов, протекающих в организме, оценивать эффективность терапевтических воздействий и прогноз кардиологических больных. Настоящий обзор посвящен возможностям использования N-терминального фрагмента предшественника мозгового натрийуретического пептида (NT-proBNP), растворимого супрессора туморогенности 2-го типа (sST2), галектина-3 и других биомаркеров у больных хронической сердечной недостаточностью для оценки риска развития жизнеугрожающих желудочковых тахиаритмий и возникновения внезапной сердечной смерти.

Current biomarkers allow diagnosing a wide array of pathological processes and evaluating effects of therapies and prognosis for cardiological patients. This review focuses on a possibility of using N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), soluble suppressor of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2), galectin-3, and other biomarkers in patients with chronic heart failure for evaluating the risk of life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
