Serum irisin level in myocardial infarction patients with or without heart failure
Journal: Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology
Year: 2019

This study aimed to assess serum irisin level in myocardial infarction (MI) with or without heart failure (HF) and the possible relation between irisin and cardiac markers, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and lipid profile. Eighty-six subjects were included (33 patients had MI, 33 patients had MI with HF, and 20 controls). Body mass index (BMI), waist/hip ratio (WHR), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), heart rate, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were measured. Blo
