Abstract

BACKGROUND: Elabela/toddler (ELA-32) is a recently identified endogenous apelin receptor ligand. ELA levels are known to rise in heart failure (HF) patients. However, the association between elevated ELA levels and prognosis in these patients remains unknown. We aimed to investigate whether ELA plasma levels are correlated with prognosis in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
