Prognostic Impact of Gait Speed, Muscle Strength and Muscle Mass in Chronic Heart Failure—A Prospective Cohort Study
Higher GS was independently associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular death or worsening HF, whereas HG and ASMI were not. We prospectively confirm GS as a physical performance measure with clear prognostic significance for patients with HF.
