Abstract

Besides regulating calcium-phosphate metabolism, fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) and Klotho have been proposed to have other roles in heart and vasculature. For example, FGF23 has been associated with cardiac hypertrophy and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction among patients with chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disorders. The purpose of the study was to investigate whether serum FGF23 and α-Klotho concentrations are associated with cardiac diastolic dysfunction and related parameters among cardiac patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. The current study enrolled 269 patients (69 women, 200 men) who were admitted to our cardiology department between October 2012 and January 2014 and had a left ventricular ejection fraction of >50 %. Cardiac diastolic function was assessed by blood flow and tissue Doppler velocities, plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentration, and cardiac hypertrophy. After adjusting for sex, and age, logistic regression analysis showed that log(α-Klotho), but not log(FGF23), was significantly associated with diastolic dysfunction. After further adjustment for renal function, blood hemoglobin, and serum albumin levels, the negative association between log(α-Klotho) and diastolic dysfunction retained statistical significance with an odds ratio of 0.50 (95 % confidence interval 0.31–0.81, P = 0.005, per 1 standard deviation). Among patients with preserved LVEF, serum α-Klotho concentrations were negatively associated with diastolic dysfunction. Whether modulation of serum levels α-Klotho will ameliorate cardiac diastolic function among patients with this disorder awaits further investigation.
