Computed tomography-based fat and muscle characteristics are associated with mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement
B Foldyna, FM Troschel, D Addison… - Journal of …, 2018 - Elsevier
Background Computed tomography (CT)-based fat and muscle measures are associated
with outcome in large populations. We tested if muscle and fat characteristics are associated
with long-term outcomes after TAVR. Methods We included 403 clinical CTs performed prior
to TAVR at our center between 2008 and 2016, measuring area (cm 2) and density
(Hounsfield units, HU) of both psoas muscles (PM), subcutaneous adipose (SAT), and
visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Area measures were indexed to height, log-transformed and …
