Redefining heart failure subtypes according to skeletal muscle mass

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

In this Comment, I propose an outcome-oriented classification of heart failure based on skeletal muscle mass. By distinguishing between heart failure with either preserved or reduced muscle mass, this conceptual framework represents a major step towards abandoning the misleading concept of the ‘obesity–mortality paradox’ in cardiology.
