Myocardial fibrosis is observed in various cardiovascular diseases and plays a key role in the impairment of cardiac function.Endomyocardial biopsy, as the gold standard for the diagnosis of myocardial fibrosis, has limitations in terms of clinical application.Therefore, biomarkers have been recommended for noninvasive assessment of myocardial fibrosis.This review discusses the role of biomarkers in myocardial fibrosis from the perspective of collagen.
