Berkan Kurt: Inflammatory Biomarkers in Heart Failure
Berkan Kurt, Resident Physician in Cardiology and Internal Medicine at Uniklinik RWTH Aachen, reposted from Florian Kahles, on LinkedIn:
“In our new review, we look at heart failure with a focus on chronic low-grade inflammation, discuss how hsCRP, IL-6 and other biomarkers capture residual inflammatory risk in HFpEF and HFrEF and may help guide future anti-inflammatory strategies.
Also excited to share that this is the first publication of our MD student Konstantin Rex, who co-led the work. ”
Quoting Florian Kahles’s post:
“Happy to share our new review in Current Heart Failure Reports, “Inflammatory Biomarkers in Heart Failure: Clinical Perspectives on hsCRP, IL-6 and Emerging Candidates.”
We summarize how low-grade systemic inflammation drives HF pathobiology and outline the complementary roles of hsCRP as a practical risk marker and IL-6 as a causal pathway with therapeutic potential.
We also discuss implications for risk stratification, precision medicine, and ongoing IL-6–targeted trials in HF.”
