Abstract
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between low serum albumin levels and coronary heart disease and mortality. Neverthless, the impact of a low serum albumin level during acute coronary syndrome has not yet been established. The aim of the present study was to investigate wether low serum albumin levels are associated with adverse outcomes in acute coronary syndrome. We enrolled 200 consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome from whom venous blood for serum albumin measurement was drawn immediately upon hospital admission. 82 patients had a low albumin level (hypoalbuminemia) and 118 had a normal albumin level (normoalbuminemia).
