Higher levels of Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 (FGF-23) have been linked to increased risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, left ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure. Histologic studies on rats suggest an association between higher levels of FGF-23 with myocardial fibrosis. However, it is unknown whether such relationship exists in humans. en Wake Forest University CKD CMR FGF-23 heart failure myocardial fibrosis Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Indices of Myocardial Fibrosis in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis Thesis Herrington, David M Jordan, Jennifer Hawthorne Snively, Beverly M Clinical and Population Translational Sciences 2017-05-20 open.access
