Body composition and bioelectrical phase angle are examined as prognostic markers in patients with right ventricular dysfunction, offering clinical and research insights.
Key Takeaways
- Phase angle measured by whole-body multifrequency bioelectrical impedance was evaluated as a prognostic biomarker in subjects with right ventricular dysfunction.
- Dynapenia, defined by low handgrip strength, was present in 28.3% of the cohort and associated with mortality in univariate analysis.
- Cachexia, sarcopenia, and fluid abnormalities were assessed alongside body composition phenotypes to determine prevalence and mortality associations.
