In chronic heart failure, monitoring calcitriol may help prevent death
Researchers determine that patients’ calcitriol and PTH(1-84) levels at baseline. They found that serum calcitriol levels decreased markedly according to heart failure severity, and that decreased ratios of calcitriol to PTH(1-84) were significantly related to heart failure severity. With plans in the works to conduct a larger study to confirm the findings we will be
