In a follow-up study of the general population in Copenhagen, Ronit et al. found that low levels of serum albumin increased the risk of ischemic heart disease [HR = 1.17, 95% CI = (1.08, 1.28)] and myocardial infarction [HR = 1.25, 95% CI = (1.09, 1.43)]10. Here, ALB is linked to myocardial infarction.
