Safety assessment of chronic hepatitis C treatment using h-FABP and 24-hour ECG Holter monitoring.

At baseline there were no statistically significant differences in the HRV parameters, DC/AC, and QTc-interval. Absolute DC/AC values, HRV parameters: SDNN-ix, rMSDD, TP, HF, VLF and ULF were significantly lower in the treated group. LF/HF ratio was higher in this group (p=0.047). These changes persisted during the follow-up and disappeared after treatment. QTc was the shortest in the 4th week and withdrew during further follow-up. H-FABP levels did not differ statistically significantly between any subsequent determinations.
