Hypophosphatemia and cardiovascular disease: Data from a greek population study

Background and Aims: While hyperphosphatemia is associated with cardiovascular toxicity and atherosclerosis, low phosphate levels are not fully described in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Aim of our study was to investigate the incidence of hypophosphatemia in hospitalized patients with cardiovascular disease as well as their connection with in- and out-of-hospital mortality.
