The Impact of Body Mass Index on Morbidity and Mortality in Iraqi Patients With Heart Failure

It appears that among Iraqis with heart failure, those who are overweight or obese had better outcomes at one year compared to normal or underweight. Further studies on a larger number of HF patients, and utilizing additional anthropometric indices and cardiorespiratory fitness to validate the observation of this study are warranted.

Abstract

It appears that among Iraqis with heart failure, those who are overweight or obese had better outcomes at one year compared to normal or underweight. Further studies on a larger number of HF patients, and utilizing additional anthropometric indices and cardiorespiratory fitness to validate the observation of this study are warranted.
