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.

WebinarB Cell Repertoire in Determining Responses to Checkpoint Blockade in NSCLC

In this webinar, Gary Middleton, MD, PhD, and Akshay Patel, PhD, from the University of Birmingham explore the role of the B cell repertoire and autoantibodies in shaping responses to checkpoint blockade immunotherapy in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). They demonstrate how autoantibody profiling using the i-Ome™ Discovery protein microarray revealed biomarkers predictive of treatment efficacy and immune-related adverse events (irAEs), providing insights into biomarker development and personalized immunotherapy strategies.
