The controlling nutritional status score predicts outcomes of cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds

The relationship between cardiovascular outcomes and the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the score and cardiovascular outcomes in HFpEF patients.

Methods and results

A total of 506 consecutive HFpEF patients were prospectively observed for up to 1500 days or until the occurrence of cardiovascular events. The mean age was 71.6 ± 9.4 years. Cardiovascular outcomes were compared between the CONUT score 0-1 group with a normal nutritional state (normal group), the CONUT score 2-4 group with a light degree of undernutrition (light group), and the CONUT score 5-8 group with a moderate degree of undernutrition (moderate g
