Abstract

The "obesity paradox" suggests better outcomes in overweight cardiovascular patients, yet the prognostic role of poor nutritional status-even in obese individuals-remains unclear. We evaluated whether combining body mass index (BMI) with the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score refines interpretation of the obesity-paradox signal in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
