Prognostic impact of nutrition measures in patients with heart failure varies with coexisting physical frailty.

Aims: Malnutrition is prevalent among patients with heart failure (HF); however, the effects of coexisting malnutrition and frailty on prognosis are unknown. This study examines the impact of malnutrition and frailty on the prognosis of patients with HF.

Methods And Results: We examined 1617 patients with HF aged 65 years or older (age: 78.

Impact of weight loss in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: results from the FLAGSHIP study.

Aims: Weight loss (WL) is a poor prognostic factor for patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction. However, its prognostic impact on patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains unestablished. The evidence regarding the effects of obesity on the prognosis of WL is also unclear.
