Background: Sarcopenia is a degenerative condition characterised by the loss of skeletal
muscle mass and strength. Its impact on cardiac surgery outcomes remains poorly …

Background: Surgeons have historically used age as a preoperative predictor of
postoperative outcomes. Sarcopenia, the loss of skeletal muscle mass due to disease or …

Simple Summary Sarcopenia is an age-related disease characterized by uncontrolled
muscle wasting and weakness in geriatric populations. Similarly, osteoarthritis is a prevalent …

Background/Aim: The effect of sarcopenia on patients with severe Covid-19 disease is
unknown. We aimed to assess the influence of baseline computed tomography (CT)-based …

Objective: Skeletal muscle quality and mass are important for maintaining physical function
during advancing age. We leveraged baseline data from Randomized Trial to Prevent …

Background: Many studies have defined sarcopenia based on psoas muscle mass using
abdominal computed tomography (CT). We hypothesized that sarcopenia can be assessed …

AIM To investigate the associations of skeletal muscle area and density with coronary
atherosclerotic plaques and significant stenosis in asymptomatic adults. MATERIALS AND …

Objectives: Clinical deterioration during the waiting time impairs the prognosis of patients
listed for heart transplantation. Reduced muscle mass increases the risk for mortality after …

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common finding. Any changes to the components of the
tricuspid valve (TV), such as the tricuspid annulus, valve leaflets, papillary muscles, and …

Background: Sarcopenia, defined as age-related loss of muscle mass, is a risk factor for
mortality and morbidity in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods to quantify …
