Statin use and muscle strength in older patients with heart failure.
Objective: Aim: To evaluate the association between statin use and muscle strength in older adults with heart failure (HF).
Patients and methods: Materials and Methods: Hospitalized, older adults with HF were divided into two subgroups: use statin (US) and not use statin (N-US). Muscle strength was measured using a hand-held dynamometer and HF was assessed based on the New York Heart Association NYHA functional classification.
Results: Results: 194 patients (median age 82 [78-86] years), 90 patients in US and 104 in N-US group. Muscle strength didn't differ significantly in US vs N-US group, 19.74kg (15.48-27.18) vs 17.58kg (12.73-25.66), p=0.098. In a multivariate analysis age, sex, NYHA class, hemoglobin concentration, presence of atrial fibrillation, and hypothyroidism were found to be independent factors of muscle strength (p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.01, p<0.001, p=0.02, p=0.04 respectively).
Conclusion: Conclusions: statin use is not related to decreased muscle strength in older adults with HF.
