Heart failure & cardiomyopathies
A body shape index for visceral fat and its changes predict cardiovascular outcomes of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Authors' conclusion
ABSI was independently associated with long-term prognosis in patients with HFpEF, and a history of high ABSI was associated with a poorer prognosis later in life
Study context
- Population
- Patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) in the Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure with an Aldosterone Antagonist trialmean follow-up 3.9 years
- Participants
- 3,319 patients
- Comparison
- A body shape index (ABSI) tertiles
