Body composition analysis, also referred to as analytic morphomics, morphomics, or
morphometry, describes the measurement of imaging biomarkers of body composition such …

Background In older patients, sarcopenia is a prevalent disease associated with negative
outcomes. Sarcopenia has been investigated in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic …

In an ageing population of patients with heart disease, preinterventional frailty assessment
for risk prediction is gaining relevance both in cardiac surgery and transcatheter valve …

The amounts of muscle and fat in a person's body, known as body composition, are
correlated with cancer risks, cancer survival, and cardiovascular risk. The current gold …

Background Sarcopenia represented by low psoas muscle area is associated with
increased hospital length of stay (LOS), postoperative complications, and mortality. We …

Background Sarcopenia is a prevalent condition in elderly patients and has been associated
with adverse outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The …

Objectives Sarcopenia is associated with poor outcome in cancer-patients. However, the
methods to define sarcopenia are not entirely standardized. We compared several …

Background Skeletal muscle wasting, or sarcopenia, affects a significant proportion of
patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, its influence …

Abstract Background The adoption of Computed tomography (CT)-defined sarcopenia to risk
stratify transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) candidates remains limited by a lack of …

Rationale and Objectives Computed tomography (CT)-determined skeletal muscle
measures have been used for predicting postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing …
