Heart-type fatty acid-binding proteins are essential in fatty acid metabolism in cardiomyocytes[64] and are upregulated in patients with severe sepsis.[65] Although these biomarkers are not specific for diagnosing septic cardiomyopathy, they may be useful for gaining an understanding of improvement or worsening of cardiac injury when used to identify trends.[9]. The gene discussed is FABP3; the disease is Sepsis.
