Total Pectoral Muscle Area and Prognostic Nutritional Index Provide Complementary Prognostic Information for Patients Hospitalized with HFmrEF/HFrEF

Background: Skeletal muscle depletion and malnutrition are common in heart failure (HF) and are associated with poor outcomes. Whether imaging-derived skeletal muscle reserve and laboratory-based nutritional indices provide complementary prognostic information remains unclear. We evaluated the prognostic value of total...

CORE-PH: A 3-Component Score for Long-Term Mortality Risk in a Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Cohort

Background/Objectives: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) risk tools do not jointly capture right ventricular adaptation, systemic oxygen balance, and nutritional reserve. We developed the three-component CORE-PH score and assessed its association with long-term mortality. Methods: This retrospective, single-center...

EASIX for Long-Term Prognostication in Hospitalized Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: Incremental Value Beyond Clinical Risk Markers

Background/Objectives: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a heterogeneous multisystem syndrome in which conventional cardiac measures may not fully capture systemic vulnerability. The Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX) is prognostic in other cardiovascular populations, but evidence i...
