Background Studies have shown that higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with improved prognosis in heart failure (HF), and this is often termed the obesity paradox. Hypothesis Analysis of body composition may reveal that muscle mass rather than adipose tissue accounts for the obesity paradox.

Body fat and lean mass were indexed by …
