Body composition of metabolically unhealthy normal-weight patients with aortic stenosis: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of computed tomography (CT)-based body composition parameters in metabolically unhealthy normal-weight patients (MUHNW) with aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Methods

This prospective cohort study involved adults with normal weight scheduled for TAVR. Patients were divided into two groups: metabolically healthy normal-weight (MHNW) and MUHNW. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), and the secondary outcomes were all-cause mortality and prolonged hospital stay. Logistic regression was used to explore the relationships between variables and outcomes, and Cox regression models were applied to examine the effects of different parameter
