Show Notes
In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology examining the link between urinary thromboxane B2 metabolites and the risk of developing heart failure. The research suggests that high levels of these metabolites, potentially from the myocardium or other organs rather than platelets, are associated with an increased risk of heart failure, offering a potential new biomarker for early detection and targeted prevention strategies.
