Category: Article Summary

Topic: Clinical Characteristics and Health Care Setting

• Results from a case-control study of 46 patients indicate that the elevation of heart-fatty acid binding protein (HFABP) is positively correlated to COVID-19 severity in patients, and elevated HFAPB may cause rapid progression in disease severity.
