Does hypoalbuminaemia predict survival in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction?
Hypoalbuminaemia is a common finding in HFpEF that predicts an increased risk of death, potentially driven by underlying renal dysfunction.
Hypoalbuminaemia is common in HFPEF patients and is associated with increased risk of death. Renal dysfunction may be the main pathophysiological mechanism underlying hypoalbuminaemia in HFPEF patients.
Liu et al. (2011) studied this question.
