Incremental Prognostic Value of Maximal Inspiratory Pressure Beyond Established Physical Function Assessments in Older Patients With Heart Failure — A Retrospective Cohort Study —
Background: In older patients with heart failure (HF), the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), gait speed, and handgrip strength are recognized prognostic markers. However, whether adding maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax) to these assessments provides incremental prognostic value remains unclear.
