Key result
Normalizing body composition in HF is proposed as a modifiable target to improve prognosis.
Why the study?
The redistribution of body composition components in heart failure is poorly understood and rarely considered in treatment despite its significant impact on disease course and prognosis.
Does the assessment and normalization of body composition improve prognosis in patients with heart failure?

Body composition assessment may inform heart failure care; hypothesis-generating without randomized confirmation.
Does the assessment and normalization of body composition improve prognosis in patients with heart failure?
This review highlights the importance of assessing and managing body composition (muscle and fat mass) as a modifiable factor to improve prognosis in heart failure patients.
Драпкина et al. (2023) conducted a review in Heart failure. Body composition assessment and normalization was evaluated. Normalization of body composition components in patients with heart failure is proposed as a controllable factor that improves prognosis and aids in developing individualized treatment strategies.
