Dr Maisel is considered one of the world's experts on cardiac biomarkers and has over 300 scientific publications. He has authored several ground-breaking publications that have paved the way for development of diagnostic tools for patients with congestive heart failure. In particular, he was the leading investigator on studies that brought the use of BNP into clinical practice. Dr Maisel is also a writer of medical fiction.

He continues as an active clinician in the CCU. Dr. Jaffe has national and international repute for his work in cardiac biomarkers and co-ordinates the Biochemistry group of the taskforce for the Universal Definition of AMI. He is on the editor boards of most of the major cardiology journals and the most prestigious laboratory medicine one (Clinical Chemistry) as well. He has over 500 publications, mostly in the field of biomarkers and cardiac troponin.
Rezensionen
"The purpose is to remind readers of the strengths and weaknesses inherent in the specific markers in commonly used cardiac laboratory tests. ... The book accomplishes this by reminding providers of the nuances specific to each test and incorporating these in real clinical cases. This book is intended for any provider -- resident, attending, or midlevel -- who orders or interprets cardiac biomarkers. ... book would be of most benefit to those working in cardiology as opposed to broader fields." (Merrill H. Stewart, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)
