Head to head comparison of intact and C-terminal fibroblast growth factor 23 in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction

- FGF-23 regulates phosphorus homeostasis.
- FGF-23 elicits several direct effects on cardiac function and stimulates cardiomyocytes.
- FGF-23 participates to the course of heart failure.
- We compared intact and C-terminal FGF-23 in HFrEF patients.
- iFGF-23 appears as a stronger predictor for long-term cardiovascular death in HF patients.
