Biomarkers in the Diagnosis of Heart Failure in Dogs

Every doctor, one way or another, is faced with the problem of chronic heart failure (CHF) in animals [1]. Over 3 million dogs suffer from some form of acquired heart disease. In recent years, biomarkers, mainly cardiac troponin and natriuretic peptides, have become the main source of information for both diagnosis and monitoring of the human heart. Today, the need for diagnostics based on blood samples has become evident also when working with dogs and cats.
