Effects of endogenous serum neuregulin-1β on morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
Improved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) following administration of recombinant human Neuregulin-1β (NRG), epidermal growth factor (EGF) involved in cardiomyocyte repair/survival, has been observed in patients with systolic heart failure (HF).. Serum NRG was measured by ELISA in 248 patients with NYHA class I-IV HF.. NRG exhibited a marginally significant effect on LVEF trajectory over 11 months (p = 0.07). There is no apparent level of NRG that predicts improved survival.. There is a potential relationship between serum NRG and improved LVEF, indicating the need to investigate the utility of NRG in predicting HF outcomes, including LVEF maintenance.
