Low serum albumin: A neglected predictor in patients with cardiovascular disease

Antonis A. Manolis et al.

Summary: Albumin plays an essential role in blood, binding and transporting drugs and substances, maintaining blood oncotic pressure and influencing the physiological function of the circulatory system. It also has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antithrombotic properties. Hypoalbuminemia is a strong predictor of cardiovascular risk. Diagnosing and managing underlying conditions should be prioritized in patients with hypoalbuminemia.

Malnutrition outweighs the effect of the obesity paradox

Suriya Prausmueller et al.

Summary: The paradoxical association between high BMI and better outcome in heart failure patients is examined in this study. The researchers found that malnutrition significantly changes the impact of BMI on prognosis, with obese patients who are also malnourished having a worse outcome compared to well-nourished patients with normal weight.

Long-term and short-term prognostic value of the prognostic nutritional index in cancer: a narrative review

Li Yan et al.

Summary: The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) is a useful indicator for assessing the nutritional and immunological status, and is associated with the overall survival of various types of cancers. Measuring PNI can help identify cancer patients with poor prognosis and adjust treatment strategies accordingly, potentially improving outcomes.

Associations of obesity and malnutrition with cardiac remodeling and cardiovascular outcomes in Asian adults: A cohort study

Shih-Chieh Chien et al.

Summary: The study highlights the presence of double burden of malnutrition among Asian adults and emphasizes the adverse effects of obesity with coexisting malnutrition on cardiovascular health. Individuals with obese-malnutrition had higher age, more comorbidities, significant cardiac remodeling, and increased risk of adverse cardiac outcomes.
