Cardiac biomarkers such as troponins and natiuretic peptides have made a great impact on clinical decision making as well as improving our understanding of molecular mechanisms of different disease conditions. However, the biomarkers that are currently in use do not reflect all the multiple disease pathways that are involved in a broad spectrum of cardiac disease conditions ranging from acute coronary syndrome, to heart failure (and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, HFpEF), to pulmonary hypertension or arrhythmias. In this Special Issue, we will provide an overview of the current developments in the field of biomarker research, beginning with research on molecular pathways and cellular communication (e.g., microRNA) up to the clinical use of biomarkers.

Cardiometabolic disease (CMD) represents the major cause of mortality, accounting for one-third of all global deaths, 75% of which occur in middle- and low-income countries. CMD encompasses a broad spectrum of conditions characterized by limited prediction, based mainly on classical risk factors due to a lack of accurate molecular CMD predictors. Thus, there is an urgent need for improved diagnostics solutions to support early intervention and improve outcomes. Early detection and adequate intervention are crucial to prevent CMD-associated complications, encouraging the quest for appropriate biomarkers with diverse applications ranging from risk assessment and screening to diagnosis and prognosis. Different circulating biomarkers for quantifying the CMD risk have been reported in the literature, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), leptin, and adiponectin. In addition, accumulating evidence in the literature points to the emergence of novel CMD biomarkers, such as cytokines, various metabolites, apelin, microRNAs, inflammasome molecules, and cardiac fibrosis markers. However, large meta-analyses have not sufficiently investigated and confirmed their biological roles in CMD diagnosis, prognosis, and/or potential reduction.

Reliable, precise and accurate detection and analysis of biomarkers remains a significant challenge for clinical researchers. Methods for the detection of biomarkers are rather complex, requiring pre-treatment steps before analysis can take place. Moreover, comparing various biomarker assays and tracing research progress in this area systematically is a challenge for researchers. The Detection of Biomarkers presents developments in biomarker detection, including methods tools and strategies, biosensor design, materials, and applications. The book presents methods, materials and procedures that are simple, precise, sensitive, selective, fast and economical, and therefore highly practical for use in clinical research scenarios. This volume situates biomarker detection in its research context and sets out future prospects for the area. Its 20 chapters offer a comprehensive coverage of biomarkers, including progress on nanotechnology, biosensor types, synthesis, immobilization, and applications in various fields. The book also demonstrates, for students, how to synthesize and immobilize biosensors for biomarker assay. It offers researchers real alternative and innovative ways to think about the field of biomarker detection, increasing the reliability, precision and accuracy of biomarker detection. - Locates biomarker detection in its research context, setting out present and future prospects - Allows clinical researchers to compare various biomarker assays systematically - Presents new methods, materials and procedures that are simple, precise, sensitive, selective, fast and economical - Gives innovative biomarker assays that are viable alternatives to current complex methods - Helps clinical researchers who need reliable, precise and accurate biomarker detection methods

The establishment of precise and reliable biomarker tests for the early stages of cardiovascular disease is of great importance and can be the cornerstone in the prevention of future cardiovascular disease (CVD). Furthermore, some biomarkers may provide important information concerning the pathogenesis of CVD or appear to be useful in risk stratification, in CVD diagnosis, or in monitoring therapy; many others may be risk factors themselves, representing therefore potential targets of therapy. The ideal biomarker should have the following characteristics: highly sensitive, specific, reliable, accessible, standardized, dependable, cost effective, and easily interpretable by clinicians. The present book focuses on the presentation and evaluation of the most promising classical and novel biochemical markers used in CVD (coronary artery disease, hypertension, heart failure, hyperlipidemia, peripheral arterial disease). The underlying pathophysiological characteristics of each biomarker, as well as potential clinical implications in daily practice are reviewed in this book.

Biomarkers can be defined as indicators of any biologic state, and they are central to the future of medicine. As the cost of developing drugs has risen in recent years, reducing the number of new drugs approved for use, biomarker development may be a way to cut costs, enhance safety, and provide a more focused and rational pathway to drug development. On October 24, 2008, the IOM's Forum on Drug Discovery, Development, and Translation held "Assessing and Accelerating Development of Biomarkers for Drug Safety," a one-day workshop, summarized in this volume, on the value of biomarkers in helping to determine drug safety during development.
