Abstract. In cardiovascular diseases with increased incidents such as acute coronary syndrome or heart failure, studying the associated or unrelated evolution of certain biochemical parameters is very important in the prognostic, diagnostic, predictive picture or in the development of modern therapies. The aim was to present some markers that are already established and used in inflammation. Two major categories of heart disease are presented, such as acute coronary syndrome and heart failure. For these, established, inexpensive, and commonly used markers such as ESR, CRP, or fibrinogen were selected, both in the specialized literature and through statistical determinations. Galectin-3 is presented, for which there are studies on its proinflammatory role in the atherogenic process and involvement in cardiac fibrosis.
Keywords: Biomarkers, Inflammation, Cardiovascular diseases.
