“…All 33 studies were either cross-sectional or randomized controlled trials published within the past 10 years (Table 1). Twenty-three studies [20,26,27,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52] included healthy mixed-age adults (age range 18-95) and two studies [53,54] included healthy community-dwelling older adults (age range [65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81]. Six studies sampled participants with hypertension [55][56][57][58][59][60], one study sampled individuals with diabetes as a comparator to healthy aged popula...…”

“…Most studies reported a measurement of skeletal muscle strength [26,27,[34][35][36][37]39,41,49,53,55,57,59,60]. Thirteen studies assessed muscle mass [20,25,27,34,39,[42][43][44]47,48,54,58,61] and six studies assessed muscle fiber cross-sectional area (CSA) [33,46,47,56,61,62]. Seven studies examined muscle function [35,38,40,[49][50][51][52], one study assessed muscular power [41] and one study assessed the muscle anabolic response [20].…”

“…Seven studies examined muscle function [35,38,40,[49][50][51][52], one study assessed muscular power [41] and one study assessed the muscle anabolic response [20]. Body composition was measured as whole body lean mass [27,34,35,[38][39][40][42][43][44][47][48][49]51,52,54,58] or as appendicular lean mass [20,25,26,33,36,37,41,46,50,53,[55][56][57][59][60][61][62]. To assess skeletal muscle mass various modalities were utilized including BIA [42][43][44]54,58], DXA [25,27,…”

“…Macrovascular and/or microvascular health was assessed in the included studies, with the majority examining macrovascular blood flow. Macrovascular health was primarily assessed as arterial stiffness using multiple measurements of either pulse wave velocity (PWV) [36,39,40,42,43,46,48,49,51,52,54,58,60], radial augmentation index [41,44,57], carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) [35,37,38,50,59] or flow-mediated dilation (FMD) [41]. CIMT was assessed using ultrasound [35,37,38,50,59] and radial augmentation index was measured using applanation tonometry [41,44,57].…”

Background: The prevalence of vascular dysfunction increases with advancing age, as does the loss of muscle mass, strength and function. This systematic review explores the association between vascular dysfunction and skeletal muscle health in healthy adults. Methods: EMBASE and MEDLINE were searched for cross-sectional and randomized controlled studies between January 2009 and April 2019, with 33 out of 1246 studies included based on predefined criteria. Assessments of muscular health included muscle mass, strength and function. Macrovascular function assessment included arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity or augmentation index), carotid intima-media thickness, and flow-mediated dilation. Microvascular health assessment included capillary density or microvascular flow (contrast enhanced ultrasound). Results: All 33 studies demonstrated a significant association between vascular function and skeletal muscle health. Significant negative associations were reported between vascular dysfunction and -muscle strength (10 studies); -mass (9 studies); and -function (5 studies). Nine studies reported positive correlations between muscle mass and microvascular health. Conclusions: Multiple studies have revealed an association between vascular status and skeletal muscle health in healthy adults. This review points to the importance of screening for muscle health in adults with vascular dysfunction with a view to initiating early nutrition and exercise interventions to ameliorate functional decline over time.

The last several years have seen increasing interest in understanding cachexia, muscle wasting, and physical frailty across the broad spectrum of patients with cardiovascular illnesses. This interest originally started in the field of heart failure, but has recently been extended to other areas such as atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease as well as to patients after cardiac surgery or transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Tissue wasting and frailty are prevalent among many of the affected patients. The ageing process itself and concomitant cardiovascular illness decrease lean mass while fat mass is relatively preserved, making elderly patients particularly prone to develop wasting syndromes and frailty. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the available knowledge of body wasting and physical frailty in patients with cardiovascular illness, particularly focussing on patients with heart failure in whom most of the available data have been gathered. In addition, mechanisms of wasting and possible therapeutic targets are discussed.
