Prevalence and Prognostic Implication of Sarcopenia Among Patients With Stage B Heart Failure: The PAPRIKA-HF Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The long-term prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF) remains poor. Most patients with HF are older, and multiple factors involved in geriatric syndromes are associated with worse long-term prognosis. Sarcopenia is a major component of geriatric syndrome. Early diagnosis and therapeutic intervention for sarcopenia are clinically important in patients with HF; however, the prevalence and long-term prognostic impact of sarcopenia in patients with stage B HF remain unclear. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia in older patients with stage B HF and its impact on the long-term prognosis.

Methods

The PAPRIKA-HF study was a multicenter, prospective study that enrolled outpatients ≥ 65 years who were diagnosed with stage B HF. Sarcopenia was as
