Skeletal muscle wasting affects about 20% of ambulatory patients with HF. The impact of nutritional intake and appetite on skeletal muscle wasting has not been investigated so far. We sought to investigate the impact of nutritional status on muscle wasting and mortality in ambulatory patients with HF. We studied 130 ambulatory patients with HF who were recruited as a part of the Studies Investigating Co-morbidities Aggravating Heart Failure (SICA-HF) program. Muscle wasting was defined according to criteria of sarcopenia, i.e., appendicular skeletal muscle mass two standard deviations below the mean of a healthy reference group aged 18-40 years. Nutritional status was evaluated using the Mini-Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF). Functional capacity was assessed as peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2) by cardiopulmonary exercise testing, 6aEurominute walk testing, and the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). At baseline, 19 patients (15%) presented with muscle wasting. Patients with muscle wasting had significantly lower values of peak VO2, 6aEurominute walk distance, SPPB, and MNA-SF score than patients without (all p < 0.05). In multivariate analysis, MNA-SF remained an independent predictor of muscle wasting after adjustment for age and New York Heart Association class (odds ratio [OR] 0.66; confidence interval [CI] 0.50-0.88; p < 0.01). A total of 16 (12%) patients died during a mean follow-up of 21 months. In Cox regression analysis, MNA-SF (OR 0.80, CI 0.64-0.99, p = 0.04), left ventricular ejection fraction (OR 0.93, CI 0.86-0.99, p = 0.05), and peak VO2 (OR 0.78, CI 0.65-0.94, p = 0.008) were predictors of death. MNA-SF is an independent predictor of muscle wasting and mortality in ambulatory patients with HF.

Although there are disparities in pathophysiology and epidemiology between male and female patients with HF, it remains unclear whether there is gender difference in myostatin expression and whether it is associated with weight loss in HF patients. Methods: Heart tissue sampleswere collected frompatientswith advanced heart failure (n= 31, female n= 5) as well as healthy control donors (n= 14, female n= 6). Expression levels of myostatin and its related proteins in the heart were evaluated by western blotting analysis. Results: Body mass index was significantly lower in female HF patients than inmale counterparts (20.0 +/- 4.2 in female vs 25.2 +/- 3.8 in male, p= 0.04). In female HF patients, both mature myostatin and pSmad2 were significantly up-regulated by 1.9 fold (p= 0.05) and 2.5 fold (p < 0.01) respectively compared to female donors, while expression of pSmad2was increased by 2.8 times inmale HF patients compared to male healthy subjects, but that of myostatinwas not. Therewas no significant difference in protein expression related tomyostatin signaling between male and female patients. Conclusion: In this study, myostatin and pSmad2 were significantly up-regulated in the failing heart of female patients, but notmale patients, and female patients displayed lower body mass index.

Sarcopenia is defined as the ageing related loss of muscle mass in health and disease that may not have an effect on body weight. As millions of patients are in cachectic or sarcopenic states, both conditions contribute to high numbers to death worldwide. A number of treatments have been proposed for cachexia and sarcopenia, but these are either in the preclinical stage or in clinical trials and hence not available to the general population. Particularly in cachexia there is a massive problem of recruiting patients for trials and also with the follow-up, due to the seriousness of the disease. This underlines the importance of well-characterized animal models. Obviously, most of the widely used cachexia and sarcopenia animal models have limitations in reproducibility of the condition and novel models are warranted in this context. The key findings of developing models in the field of cachexia and sarcopenia are that more types of the conditions have been taken into the researchers' interest. In cardiac cachexia, technical issues, which limit the preciseness and reproducibility in surgical heart failure models, have been overcome by a combination of surgery and the use of transgenic mouse models or salt sensitive rat models. Fatigue is the most pronounced symptom of cachexia and may be caused by reduced cardiac function independent of the underlying disease. Sarcopenia models often suffer from the use of young animals, due to the limited availability and very high costs of using aged animals. This review will focus on rodent models designed to mimic cachexia and sarcopenia including co-morbidities such as cancer, heart failure, as well as other diseases and conditions.
