AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between serum albumin levels and long-term mortality in heart failure patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-D).
- A total of 477 heart failure patients with CRT-D were analyzed, divided into three groups based on their albumin levels.
- Results showed that low albumin levels significantly correlated with higher rates of all-cause mortality and both appropriate and inappropriate shocks in patients with CRT-D.
Article Abstract
There is a lack of data about the association between admission serum albumin levels and long-term mortality in heart failure (HF) patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-D). We aim to investigate this connection in HF patients with CRT-D. The study population consisted of 477 HF patients with CRT-D. The cohort was divided into three groups according to albumin values, and the relationship between these groups and long-term mortality were evaluated. Long-term all-cause mortality (HR: 3.32, 95% CI: 2.12-6.84), appropriate (HR: 4.44, 95% CI: 2.44-8.06) and inappropriate (HR: 2.95, 95% CI: 1.88-6.02) shocks were higher in the low albumin group. Low albumin levels are associated with the long-term mortality and appropriate shock treatment in HF patients with CRT-D.
