We hypothesize that the decrease of H-FABP and the increase of fetuin-A could be due to a hemodynamic improvement after valve replacement. The initial increase of suPAR could indicate an inflammatory stimulus and the significant increase in sST2 could be due to the mechanical strain caused by implantation of the valve.
