Study summary
The aim of the study is to provide information on the interaction between socioeconomic factors, daily physical activity, nutrition and lifestyle on loss of muscle mass and muscle function in patients with heart failure.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Ability to provide valid informed consent.
2. Heart failure with preserved, mid-range or reduced ejection fraction (NYHA I-IV) according to European Society of Cardiology guidelines.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Cancer requiring treatment (e.g. prostate cancer on watchful waiting does not exclude patients).
2. Severe musculoskeletal or neurological disability.
3. Severe lung disease with a forced expiratory volume 1 \< 40% of predicted. Treatment with anticoagulants (warfarin, apixaban, edoxaban, dabigatran and rivaroxaban) is an exclusion criterion for muscle biopsy. Patients with anticoagulant treatment will be invited to participate in the study without muscle biopsy.
4. Other comorbidities that prevent the patient from participating in the study examinations as judged by the investigator.
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Physical performance, peak VO2 — From baseline to 12 and 36 months
Change in peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2), measured in ml O2/kg/min - Physical performance, walking distance — From baseline to 12 and 36 months
Change in walking distance (6MWT) in meters - Physical performance, muscle strength — From baseline to 12 and 36 months
Change in knee extension/flexion isokinetic strength (assessed by peak torque, Nm) and isometric strength (assessed by peak torque, Nm)
