Evaluation of the effects of different treatment modalities on angiogenesis in heart failure patients with reduced/mid-range ejection fraction via VEGF and sVEGFR-1.

Conclusion: It increases awareness about the role of sVEGFR-1 in HFrEF anf HFmrEF patients and the need for further studies. Beta-blocker may have a negative effect on angiogenesis in HFrEF and HFmrEF via increasing sVEGFR-1 levels. Additionally, Pro-BNP may contribute to inhibiting angiogenesis by increasing sVEGFR-1 levels and sVEGFR-1 may be an important biomarker in HFrEF and HFmrEF. PMID: 30284587 [PubMed - in process]
