Using bio-ADM and penKid for Optimization of AHF Management in Daily Clinical Practice

Speaker: Prof. John Parissis MD, PhD, Attikon General Hospital, Head of University Clinic of Emergency Medicine, University of Athens, Greece

Acute Heart Failure (AHF) is a leading cause of hospitalization in the elderly population and it is commonly associated with poor outcomes. Early identification of high-risk patients and more reliable parameters to monitor disease progression and its outcomes may allow more effective management and a better outcome for AHF patients. 

In this webinar, Prof. Parissis presents different clinical phenotypes of AHF and the role of the kidney function biomarker penKid and the biomarker bio-ADM for endothelial function in selecting and guiding optimal therapeutic interventions. He discusses two clinical cases of AHF using these biomarkers for early risk stratification and evaluation of treatment activities.

Kindly note: SphingoTec currently offers only microtiter plate assays. The Nexus IB10 product line is no longer available.
