Abstract
Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23) is a hormone involved in phosphate metabolism. It is known that FGF23 is increased in different pathologies including chronic kidney disease, heart failure or X-linked hypophosphatemia and directly correlates with negative outcome and mortality in severe diseases. However, the role of FGF23 in cardiovascular pathologies is still under debate. This review summarizes the current knowledge about the role of FGF23 in ischemic heart diseases, such as myocardial infarction.
