ABSTRACT
Allergic asthma is an inflammatory disorder of the bronchi, and as a major health problem, more than 350 million people suffer from asthma in the world. Many cardiovascular disorders resulted in the impairment of the heart's power to pump blood that leads to the HF. More than 25 million people worldwide live with HF. Accordingly, identifying the biomarkers to predict the onset of future asthma and HF is necessary. IL-33 is an inflammatory cytokine that has the main role in pathophysiology of asthma and HF. Also, in IL-33 receptor, the ST2 is involved in cardiac fibrosis and remodelling in HF and pathogenesis of allergic asthma. Increased sST2 in allergic asthma helps to control inflammation during asthma, but increased sST2 in HF is a predictable biomarker to present risk factor of HF during the time of the patients.
