Tyrosine to Threonine Ratio was Related to Heart Failure with Reduced or Mildly Reduced Ejection Fraction

Authors' conclusion

Circulating elevated Tyr/Thr ratio confer an increased risk for the presence of HF and poor prognosis. Tyr/Thr index outweighs FR index in predicting HF occurrence or CV death.
