Exercise intolerance in heart failure arises from multifactorial pathophysiological mechanisms. Hepatokines, liver-synthesized molecules, regulate systemic metabolisms in peripheral tissues. We previously identified the hepatokine fetuin-A as being linked to liver hypoperfusion in heart failure. Here, we investigated the role of fetuin-A in connecting cardiac-hepatic-peripheral interaction.
