Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between heart failure (HF) and the risk of bone fractures, particularly osteoporotic fractures, which previous studies showed mixed results on.
- Researchers conducted a meta-analysis using data from 8 observational studies, totaling 260,410 participants, to assess the risk of fractures in HF patients compared to those without HF.
- Findings indicated that heart failure patients face a significantly higher risk of all fractures (1.67 times) and hip fractures (2.20 times) over an average follow-up of 5 years, regardless of age, sex, or study size.
