Abstract
Although preoperative hypoalbuminemia did not predict increased early postoperative mortality or morbidity in CABG patients, it did independently predict poor long-term survival after CABG. Identifying the mechanism that underlies this relationship is essential in improving overall survival among patients with low serum albumin levels who are undergoing surgical myocardial revascularization.
