Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 Independently Predicts Adverse Outcomes After an Acute Coronary Syndrome

ESC Heart FailPublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

FGF23 and other components of MM are independent predictors of HF and death after an ACS. This effect is homogeneous across different subgroups of population, and it is not limited to patients with chronic kidney disease.

Study context

Population
Patients at discharge from an acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
Participants
1,190 patients
Outcome

Methodological detailsmultivariable analysis, Age 61.7 ± 12.2 years; 77.1% men
