Impact of Malnutrition on Long-Term Mortality in Elderly Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

Nutritional status is an independent predictor of long-term mortality among elderly patients with AMI. MNA score in elderly patients with AMI may help prognostic stratification and identification of patients with, or at risk of, malnutrition in order to apply interventions to improve nutritional status, and maybe survival in this population.
