“…Sarcopenia has been mentioned as a frequent comorbidity in patients with HF in the latest guidelines by the European Society of Cardiology [61]. HF induces a significant reduction in physical capacities leading to an increased risk of sarcopenia [62]. It is associated with more severe symptoms and more frequent hospitalization [63].…”

Malnutrition is a common comorbidity in patients with cirrhosis. Its prognostic value is indisputable as it greatly affects the evolution of liver diseases. It has a major impact on both morbi-mortality before and after liver transplantation. Being now integrated in the definition of malnutrition and recognized as a new entity in the international classification of diseases, physicians have taken great interest in sarcopenia. Its negative consequences on the fate of patients with cirrhosis are well-demonstrated. The concept of frailty has recently been enlarged to chronic liver diseases as symptoms of impaired global physical functioning. In this article, we will discuss the definitions of malnutrition and emphasize its links with sarcopenia and frailty. We will show the relevance of frailty and sarcopenia in the course of liver diseases. The emerging role of muscle depletion on the cardiorespiratory system will also be highlighted. The importance of body composition will be demonstrated and the main tools reviewed. Finally, we adapted the definition of malnutrition to patients with cirrhosis based on the assessment of sarcopenia together with reduced food intakes.

“…The average 40-year-old Fontan patient is expected to have the same life expectancy of a 75-year-old in the general population. 5 Muscle wasting in the context of such chronic conditions has been described to be associated with adverse outcomes, including in the elderly 6 and those with congestive heart failure, [7][8][9] cancer, 10 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 11 and chronic kidney disease. 12 Not surprisingly, a high prevalence of skeletal muscle wasting in the Fontan population, measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry, has been demonstrated.…”

Background: Fontan palliation results in a chronic multisystem disorder with diminished exercise capacity and increased risk of muscle wasting. The aims of this study were to assess the feasibility of skeletal muscle mass measurements in Fontan patients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging liver surveillance to compare muscle mass with a historic control and to assess its correlation with cardiorespiratory fitness. Methods: Skeletal muscle area (SMA) and skeletal muscle index (SMI) were measured at T12 and L3. A young, healthy historic cohort was used as a comparison group.
