Background: Pneumonia is one of most important causes of in-hospital mortality in patients with decompensated chronic heart failure (CHF).
Aim: To evaluate the effect of adipose tissue mass and body weight index (BWI) on prognosis for patients with communityacquired pneumonia and decompensated CHF.
Materials And Methods: The study included 286 patients aged 53-90 with BWI 18.
Aim: To evaluate the effect of body composition on prediction of community-acquired pneumonia caused by Str. pneumoniae in patients with decompensated CHF.
Materials And Methods: The study included 216 patients.
This multicenter study evaluated the effectiveness of threpsology support during the progression of chronic heart failure (HSN). The paper shows the preliminary results of a study SATURN II. We show that nutritivnaya support is effective in any degree ofmalnutrition in patients with HSN.
