PREVALENCE OF SARCOPENIA IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: to evaluate the frequency of sarcopenia and the relationship between sarcopenia and some clinical and laboratory features in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease. Methods: A cross-sectional prospective study in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease, admitted to the Interventional Cardiology Department, Military Hospital 103 from April 2022 to October 2022. Diagnosis of sarcopenia is based on muscle mass, strength, and physical performance, according to the consensus of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 (AWGS 2019). General information and clinical and laboratory characteristics of the study subjects were also collected. Results: The study sample consisted of 52 patients with an average age of 66.4 ± 10.2 years old. The frequency of sarcopenia, severe sarcopenia and sarcopenic-obesity was 36.5%, 32.7% and 1.9%, respectively. Sarcopenia is more common in men, with advanced age. Patients with sarcopenia most of the anthropometric indices were lower than those without sarcopenia, the difference was significant in waist circumference, hip circumference, mid-arm circumference, calf circumference. Conclusion: Prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease was high. Futher studies with larger samples, studying the impact of sarcopenia on clinical outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease in general and chronic ischemic heart disease in particular are needed.
