Prevalence of cardiac cachexia among congestive heart failure patients
View through CrossRef
Cardiac cachexia is a serious, multifaceted condition that is linked to congestive heart failure and can strike at any age or level of ventricular function. For the diagnosis of cardiac cachexia in patients, no particular test is employed. However, specific nutritional screening methods, such as the CASCO (cachexia score), are employed to identify cardiac cachexia in patients with congestive heart failure. A prospective observational study was used. The study was conducted at a tertiary hospital. The study used the CASCO (cachexia score) tool. The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of cardiac cachexia among congestive heart failure patients. The results of the study showed that individuals with congestive heart failure had a significantly higher prevalence of malnutrition and cardiac cachexia.
