The impairment of growth hormone (GH)/insulin growth factor-1(IGF-1) plays a crucial role in chronic heart failure (CHF). Several studies have shown that patients affected by this condition display a more aggressive disease, with impaired functional capacity and poor outcomes. Interestingly, GH replacement therapy represents a possible future therapeutic option in CHF. In this review, the authors focus on the assessment of the main abnormalities in GH/IGF-1 axis in CHF, the underlying molecular background, and their impact on disease progression and outcomes.
生长激素(GH)/胰岛素样生长因子-1(IGF-1)受损在慢性心力衰竭(CHF)中起关键作用。多项研究表明,受这种疾病影响的患者表现出更具侵袭性的病情,功能能力受损且预后较差。有趣的是,生长激素替代疗法是慢性心力衰竭未来可能的治疗选择。在这篇综述中,作者重点评估了慢性心力衰竭中生长激素/胰岛素样生长因子-1轴的主要异常、潜在的分子背景及其对疾病进展和预后的影响。
