Article Synopsis
- Sarcopenia, or low muscle strength, is a significant comorbidity in patients with acute heart failure (AHF), potentially worsening their prognosis, leading researchers to study its impact on these patients.
- The study analyzed 377 AHF patients and found that 82.23% had low muscle strength, which was associated with older age, cognitive impairment, and poorer functional status.
- Results indicated that patients with low muscle strength had higher rates of readmission and mortality, reinforcing the link between low muscle strength and worse outcomes in AHF.
