We have shown that salivary endothelin concentrations are raised in patients with chronic heart failure and indicate progression of disease severity through each New York Heart Association Functional Class. Furthermore, endothelin concentrations in saliva seem to discriminate between controls and patients with mild symptoms of chronic heart failure.
