Abstract Background Although high body mass index (BMI) is a risk factor of heart failure (HF), HF patients with higher BMI had lower mortality rate than that in normal or BMI, phenomenon has been termed the “obesity paradox”. However, relationship between composition, i.e., fat muscle mass, and clinical outcome remains unclear. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data for 198 consecutive (76 years age; males, 49%). Patients who were admitted to our institute diagnosis management received...
A strategy to predict mortality in elderly heart failure (HF) patients has not been established.
Malnutrition is associated with an increased risk of mortality in heart failure (HF) patients. Here, we examined the hypothesis that assessment energy intake addition to nutritional status improves stratification elderly HF patients.We retrospectively 419 patients aged ≥ 65 years (median 78 years, 49% female). Nutritional was assessed by Mini Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF), and daily calculated from during 3 consecutive days before discharge.During a median 1.52-year period (IQR 0.96-2.94...
Abstract Background Malnutrition is frequently present and closely associated with poor clinical outcomes in elderly heart failure (HF) patients. Our previous study showed that low energy intake (EI) worse functional status HF inpatients after cardiac rehabilitation, but significance of EI prediction hospital readmission has not been elucidated fully. Purpose We examined whether a predictor for events Methods retrospectively retrieved data 298 patients aged ≥65 years (median age 77 years,...
Abstract Background Obesity, defined as higher body mass index (BMI), is associated with better prognosis in patients chronic heart failure (CHF), though the presence of obesity a risk factor development CHF (Obesity paradox). On other hand, muscle wasting, i.e. reduction skeletal mass, frequently observed CHF, leading to lower exercise capacity and poor cardiovascular outcome. Purpose The aim this study was examine whether analysis composition improves prediction short-term readmission...
