Abstract: Aim: There is a lack of data about the association between admission serum albumin levels and long-term mortality in heart failure (HF) patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-D). We aim to investigate this connection in HF patients with CRT-D. Methods: The study population consisted of 477 HF patients with CRT-D. The cohort was divided into three groups according to albumin values, and the relationship between these groups and long-term mortality were evaluated. Results: Long-term all-cause mortality (HR: 3.32, 95% CI: 2.12–6.84), appropriate (HR: 4.44, 95% CI: 2.44–8.06) and inappropriate (HR: 2.95, 95% CI: 1.88–6.02) shocks were higher in the low albumin group. Conclusion: Low albumin levels are associated with the long-term mortality and appropriate shock treatment in HF patients with CRT-D.
