Background: In heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), catabolic mechanisms have a strong negative impact on morbidity and mortality. The relationship between anabolic hormonal deficit, thyroid function and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has still been poorly investigated. For this reason, we tried to define the prevalence of multi-hormonal deficiencies in HFpEF patients and the relationships between hormonal deficits and echocardiographic...
