Predicting heart failure using the plasma proteome
ABSTRACT
To determine whether the plasma proteome adds value to established predictors in heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). We sought to derive and validate a plasma proteomic risk score (PRS) for survival in patients with HFrEF (HFrEF-PRS).
Until recently, proteomics had not been as thoroughly explored partly due to comparatively low-throughput. However, emerging proteomic technologies have recently matured and newer high-throughput techniques now allow larger scale proteomic characterization. One of these newer technological innovations, enhanced aptamer-based assays, has enabled a massively expanded candidate approach that borders on true proteomics in scale; thousands of protein-derived factors can be efficiently assayed simultaneously in a small biologic sample. In this webinar, you will explore this new large-scale protein array using an established HF patient registry to understand how the plasma proteome could meaningfully predict the risk of death or HF worsening and add to best conventional risk stratification, including clinical score and natriuretic peptides. By using the circulating proteome to improve risk prediction, it could add a new tool to help manage patients with HF and contribute to discovery of novel HF markers and pathways.

WebinarUsing Antibody Profiling to Identify Novel Diagnostic Biomarkers
Current cancer screening methods often lead to false positives, false negatives and invasive biopsies that lack prognostic insights. Emerging research suggests that cancer-specific IgM and IgG antibodies – produced by B cells upon recognizing malignant cells – could serve as stable, easily measurable blood biomarkers for detecting and monitoring high-incidence cancers like melanoma and breast, prostate, bowel, lung and pancreatic cancer. This approach has the potential to improve early diagnosis, reduce uncertainty and enhance treatment planning.
WebinarLinking the plasma proteome to echocardiographic parameters in patients with chronic heart failure
Recent advancements in proteomic profiling have unlocked new possibilities for understanding the complex mechanisms that drive heart failure. Measuring thousands of proteins simultaneously makes it possible to capture a comprehensive overview of the patient's health state and investigate underlying disease progression at a subclinical level.
