Abstract

The use of biomarkers as a reliable and reproducible indicative of the risk, severity, and progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) may greatly enhance the prognostic capability of primary healthcare clinicians. In primary healthcare, the realistic and wise use of reliable biomarkers could minimize the time and costs for effective diagnosis and suitable personalized therapy for CVD patients. Therefore, the aim of the present scoping review is to evaluate the prognostic significance of biomarkers in the progression and monitoring of CVDs. The review was conducted according to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Eight databases were searched for articles published as of June 2021 using search terms: cardiovascular diseases AND biomarkers AND prognosis. A total of 21 studies were included in this scoping review. This review identified biomarkers BNP, cTnT yielded better accuracy of disease progression prediction in ACS and HF respectively. The availability of CVDs prognostic biomarkers in primary healthcare clinics could promote improved clinical outcomes of patients.
