Association of Genetically Predicted Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 with Heart Failure
28 Jul 2022
Abstract excerpt
Background and objectives Elevated fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) has been consistently associated with heart failure, particularly heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, among patients with CKD and in the general population. FGF23 may directly induce cardiac remodeling and heart failure. However, biases affecting observational studies impede robust causal inferences. Mendelian randomization...
