BACKGROUND: To prospectively determine the prognostic utility of serial sampling of the
interleukin-1 receptor family member, ST2, for predicting 90-day mortality in patients with
heart failure (HF) admitted to a Veteran Affairs Medical Center. METHODS AND RESULTS:
A total 150 patients hospitalized with acutely destabilized HF were followed at the Veteran
Affairs Healthcare System in San Diego, CA. Multiple cardiac-related parameters were
measured including ST2, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), NT-proBNP, and blood urea …
