22 Jul 2025 • Analyzing 5,713 heart failure (HF) patients reveals that sarcopenia substantially elevates the risk of poor clinical outcomes.

Patients with sarcopenia faced a 62% higher overall risk of adverse outcomes (HR 1.62), including nearly double the risk of all-cause mortality (HR 1.89) and a 37% greater risk of major cardiovascular events (HR 1.37).

The findings highlight sarcopenia as a critical prognostic factor in HF and underscore the need for routine, multidimensional screening to guide early interventions and improve patient outcomes.
