Core Tip	Increased carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) has prognostic implications in acute heart failure (HF). The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value of increased CA125 and whether it adds prognostic information to N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in stable HF patients. Higher CA125 values correlated with outcomes. The highest risk was observed when both biomarkers CA125 and NT-proBNP were elevated vs not elevated (HR = 8.95, 95%CI: 3.11-25.73; P < 0.001). CA125 > 60 KU/L identified patients in stable HF with very poor survival. Circulating CA125 level adds prognostic value to NT-proBNP level in predicting HF outcomes.
