Intestinal Fatty Acid Binding Protein is Associated With Mortality in Patients With Acute Heart Failure or Cardiogenic Shock
Conclusion:
Circulating levels of iFABP at admission predict mortality. This suggests that early inadequate perfusion of the small intestine may be associated with a dramatically decreased survival in patients with cardiogenic shock or severe acute heart failure.
