Variations in serum low-density lipoprotein and sST2 among heart failure patients with different ejection fraction groups and their clinical significance.

[ 16 ] In the present study, across 3 HF groups, an increasing trend in sST2 was observed with decreasing LVEF, which is primarily used clinically to evaluate patient ejection fraction – a decrease in which indicates reduced myocardial contractile function and heightened HF severity [ 17 ] , thus underscoring the relevance of sST2 levels in assessing the severity of a patient’s HF condition.
