Body mass index and natriuretic peptides trends before and after left ventricular assist device

Abstract Background It is unknown to what degree of sarcopenia related to heart failure (HF) is reversible with resolution of the HF syndrome. We evaluated whether (1) weight loss prior to left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is associated with pre‐operative sarcopenia as quantified on pre‐operativ...
