“…Accurate identification of liver abnormalities cannot only reflect nonhepatic diseases, and influence diagnostic as well as therapeutic processes, but also indicate the infarct size and thrombus burden, and enable the prediction of prognosis and mortality in AMI patients and in HF patients. [ 21 – 26 ] Prior studies had also suggested that elevations in the CK-MB and troponin I levels were widely accepted as indicators of myocardial necrosis and as risk factors for the development of a fulminant course, and were useful in the diagnosis, risk stratification, guiding treatments, and provide prognostic information in patients with AMI. [ 12 , 13 , 27 ] Consistent with these findings, AMI patients presenting with HFpEF in our study had higher levels of inflammatory indicators (WBC counts, neutrophils counts, and Hs-CRP), elevated level of blood glucose, liver biomarkers (TB, ALT, and AST), and myocardial necrosis indicators (CK-MB, troponin I) than non-HF patients.…”
