The independent prediction study of the effect of heart-type fatty acid binding protein on the severity and long-term cardiac function in Covid-19 patients Authors Li Yin Department of Cardiology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, China Hailong Wang Department of Cardiology, Heart Center, Chongqing University Three Gorges Hospital, China Jiang Shao Department of Cardiology, Heart Center, Chongqing University Three Gorges Hospital, China Huaming Mou Department of Cardiology, Heart Center, Chongqing University Three Gorges Hospital, China Li Su Department of Cardiology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, China DOI: https://doi.org/10.47391/JPMA.7047 Abstract The study was conducted to assess the predictive ability of the heart-type fatty acid binding protein (HFABP) on the severity and long-term cardiac function of Covid-19 infected persons. In the case of negative HsTn-T, we determined whether HFABP was related to the severity of Covid-19 or it was the long-term impact of cardiac function. Chi-square test and t-test were used to evaluate whether HFABP level was an independent predictor of myocardial injury and whether it was related to the severity of Covid-19 and the long-term impact of cardiac function. Among the 20 patients in each of the two groups (mild and severe), 27.5% of all had elevated HFABP. Two were HFABP positive in the mild group, and nine were HFABP positive in the severe group, with a significant difference between the two groups (P=0.013). ---Continue Downloads Full Text Article Published 2023-05-15 How to Cite Yin, L., Hailong Wang, Shao, J., Mou, H., & Su, L.
