Decreased Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass is Associated with Poor Outcomes after ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

摘要

Aim: The importance of sarcopenia in cardiovascular diseases has been recently demonstrated. This study aims to examine whether skeletal muscle mass (SMM), an important component of sarcopenia, is associated with an increased risk of poor outcome in patients after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
