“…32 Additionally, once heart failure is clinically present, it has been shown that low IGFI levels are associated with a worse prognosis. 33,34 These findings suggest that low IGF-I status in adulthood may have implications for the development of premature atherosclerosis or progression of cardiovascular disease. 35 Although epidemiologic studies which have assessed the association between IGF-I levels and cardiovascular disease are inconsistent, it is hypothetically, therefore, possible to partially consider a negative role of the sustained low levels of IGF-1 and ALS in the cardiovascular adverse manifestations commonly seen in untreated hyperthyroidism.…”

“…Moreover, it has been demonstrated that IGFBP3, which is a member of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein family, is upregulated in the failing hearts of DCM patients (34,35). Hassfeld et al (36) regard IGFBP3 as an independent predictors of a poor prognosis in patients with DCM. Notably, the results of the present study indicated that upregulated IGFBP3 was related to ‘skeletal system development’ and ‘regulation of cell migration’.…”

“…A smaller study by Hassfeld et al [11] and a larger study by Jankowska et al [3] reported that low serum levels of IGF-I were associated with increased mortality. As one difference to our investigation the study by Jankowska et al only included men and comprised a larger proportion of younger individuals.…”

“…Based on this evidence several trials investigating GH treatment in CHF have been conducted [9]. However, there are only very limited reports on the prospective association between endogenous IGF-I levels and the prognosis in CHF patients [3,10,11].…”
