The correlation between Treg or Th17 and 25(OH)D or NT-ProBNP in chronic HF. (a) 25(OH)D was correlated with Treg/Th17 and NT-ProBNP. (b) The significant decreased frequency of Treg in patients with chronic HF positively correlated with 25(OH)D and negatively correlated with NT-ProBNP. (c) The frequency of Th17 positively correlated with NT-ProBNP but not correlated with 25(OH)D.
