Circulating Total Bilirubin and Long-Term Prognosis in Patients With Previous Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although experimental studies have demonstrated the protective role of total bilirubin (TBil) in cardiovascular diseases, several previous clinical observations are controversial. More importantly, no data are currently available regarding the relation of TBil to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with previous myocardial infarction (MI).

Objectives

This study sought to explore the association between TBil and long-term clinical outcomes in patients with previous MI.

Methods

A total of 3,809 patients who are post-MI were consecutively enrolled in this prospective study. Cox regression models using HRs and CIs were applied to investigate associations between the TBil concentration category (group 1: bottom to median tertiles within the re
