Overview

Cross-sectional study evaluates sarcopenia and frailty risk factors in heart failure patients, indicating cardiovascular inflammation impacts outcomes.

Key Points

  • Sarcopenia was prevalent in 56.8% of frail patients with chronic heart failure, particularly affecting women.
  • About 88.9% of patients had functional impairment, with severe sarcopenia solely found among women.
  • Patients with sarcopenia experienced higher rates of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, showing significant metabolic comorbidities.
  • C-reactive protein and NT-proBNP levels were associated with sarcopenia risk, emphasizing inflammation's role in heart failure.
