High AST/ALT Ratio Is Associated with Cardiac Involvement in Acute COVID-19 Patients

Conclusion: High AST/ALT ratio is related to impaired right ventricular function parameters with CMRI and echocardiography after recovery from acute COVID-19. Assessment of AST/ALT ratio at hospital admission may be used to assess the risk of cardiac involvement in COVID-19 disease, and these patients may require closer follow-up during and after the course of COVID-19.PMID:37374367 | PMC:PMC10305090 | DOI:10.3390/medicina59061163
