Leg Muscle Strength Independently Predicts Clinical Outcome in Patients with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

Leg muscle strength (LMS) could be an index of frailty in patients with heart failure. However, its prognostic value in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is not well investigated. We hypothesized that impaired LMS was independently associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with ADHF.
