Sarcopenia's Significance in Aortic Valve Disease
Sarcopenia, a condition marked by muscle strength and mass loss, affects a notable percentage of older adults with aortic stenosis. Its prevalence in these patients ranges from 21% to 70%. Diagnosing sarcopenia in aortic stenosis patients is crucial as it independently predicts short and long-term outcomes post-TAVR procedures. Early detection and treatment can lessen morbidity, mortality, and enhance patient quality of life.
