Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how possible sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass) relates to swallowing and physical function in patients with acute heart failure (AHF).
- It included 320 hospitalized AHF patients, measuring sarcopenia through calf circumference and grip strength, and assessing swallowing and physical function at discharge.
- Results showed that possible sarcopenia was linked to poorer swallowing ability at discharge but not significantly related to physical function, emphasizing the importance of early detection and treatment of sarcopenia in AHF patients.
Aims: This study aimed to clarify the association between oral health and the incidence of dysphagia as well as the recovery of nutritional status and improvement of dysphagia in hospitalized patients with acute heart failure.
Methods: Hospitalized patients with AHF were prospectively enrolled. Oral health was evaluated using the Japanese Version of the Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT-J) after circulation dynamics improved (defined as baseline), and participants were classified into good and poor oral health groups (OHAT-J 0-2 and ≧ 3, respectively).
Aim: Evidence for the influence of resting energy expenditure (REE)-based energy intake on the outcomes of patients with heart failure (HF) is scarce. This study evaluates the relationship between REE-based energy intake sufficiency and clinical outcomes in hospitalized HF patients.
Methods: This prospective observational study included newly admitted patients with acute HF.
Objectives: This study evaluated the relationship between systemic inflammation and clinical outcomes in people hospitalized with acute heart failure (AHF).
Methods: We prospectively enrolled people newly hospitalized with AHF after excluding those with concomitant infectious or inflammatory diseases. Systemic inflammation was evaluated using the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) at hospitalization, and participants were classified into low-grade and high-grade inflammation groups (mGPS 0-1 and 2, respectively).
Purpose: Dysphagia following heart failure (HF) has gained little attention. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of dysphagia and its associations with the clinical outcomes in HF patients.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included 203 consecutive hospitalized HF patients (mean age 79.
Background: Dysphagia is an important clinical problem in older adults with heart failure. Moreover, evidence is scarce regarding the prevalence and impact of dysphagia on physical function in these patients.
Aims: This study examined the association of dysphagia and physical function in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation following heart failure.
Aim: Patients who experience heart failure are prone to malnutrition. The aim of this study was to determine the association between risk of malnutrition and physical function in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation following heart failure.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in consecutive patients hospitalised for cardiac rehabilitation following heart failure.
