Abstract
BACKGROUND: Osteonectin (OSN) plays a pivotal role in cardiac remodeling, but predictive value for OSN in ischemic chronic heart failure (CHF) has not been defined. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prognostic value of OSN for cumulative survival and hospitalization among patients with ischemic-induced CHF.
