PERSPECTIVES

Despite the progress of medical sciences of the past 30 years, many disorders of the cardiovascular system remain unsolved. The need for early recognition of the warning signs of particular diseases, cellular dysfunction and systemic inflammation translated by early biomarkers would be the real support for prevention, diagnosis and adequate strategies for treatment that can selectively target the cellular and molecular mediators. The focus will be directed toward the rapid transfer of proteomics research data generated with the top mass spectrometry technology to clinical practice for the benefit of human patients.
