ALB and heart disorder: In multivariate analysis, a previous cardiac disease (HR 2.39 95% CI 1.25-4.59, p = 0.009), and baseline serum ammonia (HR 1.01, 95% CI 1.00-1.02, p = 0.022) and baseline albumin (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.88-0.99, p = 0.018) levels were associated with OHE in the elective group (Table 3).
