Impact of Baseline Hypoalbuminemia on Long-Term Survival Following Acute Myocardial Infarction According to Body Mass Index

Abstract

Serum albumin and body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) have been associated with outcomes following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Aiming to assess whether the mortality risk inflicted by hypoalbuminemia (p p p p = 0.002) subgroups. Upon interaction analysis, the mortality risk imposed by hypoalbuminemia was most pronounced among individuals with normal BMI. In conclusion, hypoalbuminemia constituted a negative prognostic marker for long-term survival in AMI patients with normal or mildly elevated but not reduced or severely increased BMI. Pending further research, addressing hypoalbuminemia based on BMI range may prove beneficial.
