Impact of sarcopenia on prognosis in patients with heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction

Masaaki Konishi et al.

Summary: A multicentre prospective cohort study found that sarcopenia is an independent predictor of 1-year mortality in both HFpEF and HFrEF, with a similar impact on mortality in both patient groups.

Skeletal muscle atrophy in heart failure with diabetes: from molecular mechanisms to clinical evidence

Nathanael Wood et al.

Summary: Patients with HFDM present a unique clinical population with more severe symptoms and poorer clinical outcomes due to skeletal muscle atrophy. Treatment strategies for HFDM patients need further focus on potential mechanisms and therapeutic targets.

Arm lean mass determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is superior to characterize skeletal muscle and predict sarcopenia-related mortality in cirrhosis

Christian Skou Eriksen et al.

Summary: Sarcopenia worsens survival in patients with advanced liver disease including cirrhosis. In this study, arm lean mass determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is a better marker than the traditional appendicular skeletal muscle mass when predicting sarcopenia-related mortality in patients with cirrhosis of different severity.

Prognostic impact of muscle and fat mass in patients with heart failure

Masaaki Konishi et al.

Summary: The study found that more than half of heart failure patients had reduced muscle mass, and lower values of both muscle and fat mass were associated with higher mortality in heart failure.
