Prognostic impact of elevated fatty acid ‐binding protein 1 in patients with heart failure

ConclusionSerum FABP1 levels are elevated in compensated HF patients, and the magnitude of elevation is independently associated with pulmonary hypertension, right atrial hypertension, and worse clinical outcomes. FABP1 may serve as a new potential biomarker for the assessment of hitherto unrecognized derangement of cardio ‐hepatic interaction in HF.
