Relativebradycardia (1st quartile) in comparison to relative tachycardia was similarlyassociated with older age, less severe COVID-19 at admission, higher comorbidityburden, higher frequency of hyperlipoproteinemia but lower frequency of obesity,lower CRP, lower ferritin, reduced WBC, reduced platelets and lowerprocalcitonin (p < 0.05 for all analyses). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is COVID-19.
