dc.description.abstractBackground: Sarcopenia is a progressive age-related skeletal muscle disease associated with adverse outcomes in those with cardiovascular disease. In this study, the prevalence of sarcopenia and its effect on clinical outcomes in heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) patients were examined. Methods: A total of 722 patients from three centres who applied to the outpatient clinic with the diagnosis of HFmrEF between 01 January 2020 and 01 June 2021 were included in the study retrospectively. Sarcopenia was diagnosed with a screening test using age, grip srength and calf circumference. At least two-year follow-up results were reviewed from the date the patients were included in the study. Results: Of the 722 HFmrEF patients, 169 (23.4%) were sarcopenic. During the follow-up of sarcopenic patients, a higher rate of hospitalisation and two-year mortality was detected compared to the non-sarcopenic group (49.7% vs 33.3%, p < .001 and 23.7% vs 13.2%, p = .001, respectively). Additionally, atrial fibrillation (AF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic renal failure (CRF) and smoking were detected at higher rates in sarcopenic patients. In subgroup analysis, AF was found to be significantly higher in overweight/obese sarcopenia patients compared to other groups. According to Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the sarcopenia score cut-off of 73.61 predicted mortality with 65% sensitivity and 63% specificity, and the cut-off level of 71.10 predicted hospitalisation with 68% sensitivity and 69% specificity. Conclusion: In HFmrEF patients, sarcopenia is associated with adverse events and is an important prognostic marker.en_US
