Reduced circulating fetuin-A levels were associated with exercise intolerance in heart failure patients. Fetuin-A could emerge as a target implicated in exercise capacity connecting cardiac-hepatic-peripheral interaction and as a valuable biomarker for predicting prognosis when combined with peak oxygen uptake.
