Abstract
An important sequelae post myocardial infarction is left ventricular remodelling, which determines the long term outcome and occurrence of heart failure. Biomarkers are used as a tool to identify high risk individuals, to diagnose disease conditions promptly/accurately and to effectively prognosticate and treat patients with disease. ST2 is one such promising relatively new biomarker. Myocytes that are subjected to mechanical stress secrete ST2 and the ST2 level has been found to be an independent predictor of heart failure and adverse outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction
