It has been observed that heart failure is often accompanied by bone diseases. However, there is no strong evidence available about their association. Through this meta-analysis, researchers showed that patients with chronic heart failure have lower bone mineral density when compared with non-CHF patients. Correlation between bone mineral density and chronic heart failure As individuals age, their body goes through multiple changes like bone mineral density (BMD) decreases, body fat increases, resting metabolic rate reduces and the cardioprotective systems decline resulting into heart failure.
Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease in older people and women, characterized by low BMD and deterioration of bone tissue. It is often associated with chronic heart failure (CHF). However, there is no clear evidence about this association. Objective The aim of this meta-analysis was to…
