Predictive value of nesfatin-1 in heart failure mortality

Abstract

Advanced heart failure is the last stage of heart failure in which the life expectancy of patients is significantly reduced. Many mortality markers have been identified in advanced heart failure. Although the nesfatin-1 molecule is known as a satiety hormone, it has also been shown to be associated with many cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to elucidate the association between in-hospital mortality and nesfatin-1 level in advanced heart failure patients.
