Thymosin Beta‐4 Is Elevated in Women With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

BackgroundThymosin beta‐4 (TB4) is an X‐linked gene product with cardioprotective properties. Little is known about plasma concentration of TB4 in heart failure (HF), and its relationship with other cardiovascular biomarkers. We sought to evaluate circulating TB4 in HF patients with preserved (HFpEF...
