| Abstract [eng] |
This thesis is based on four published research articles. Its overall aim is to examine the correlations between various biomarkers and heart failure severity and clinical outcomes in the cohort of patients with pure non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. One article analyzes the prevalence and prognostic relevance of cardiotropic viruses and myocardial inflammation. Two articles investigate the association between inflammation-related biomarkers and the severity of the disease, as well as the prognostic value of these biomarkers. Finally, the last article investigates global longitudinal strain association with disease severity and poor clinical outcomes. |
