Predicting future shocks in implantable cardioverter defibrillator recipients: the role of biomarkers

Emmanuel M. Kanoupakis, Emmanuel G. Manios and Panos E. Vardas*

Department of Cardiology, University Hospital of Heraklion, Crete, Greece

Simple clinical and laboratory indexes have been identified as predictors of arrhythmic events in implantable cardioverter defibrillator patients. Biomarkers, which are playing a growing role in the prognosis and treatment of patients with heart failure, could provide an auxiliary tool in this context, given that their measurement is now easy and widely available.

Key Words: Implantable cardioverter defibrillator, Predictors of shocks, Biomarkers, Natriuretic peptides
