Proteomics Toward Biomarkers Discovery and Risk Assessment

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Interdisciplinary Concepts in Cardiovascular Health

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Western societies and developing countries. The ability to investigate the complete proteome provides a critical tool toward elucidating the complex and multifactorial basis of cardiovascular biology, especially disease processes such as myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease. Different strategies have been used to discover novel potential biomarkers related to cardiovascular risk. It seems evident that a combination of biomarkers from different pathological pathways adds substantial prognostic information with respect to the risk of death from cardiovascular causes.
