Aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase ratio is associated with frailty and mortality in older patients with heart failure

Abstract Frailty is a common comorbidity associated with adverse events in patients with heart failure, and early recognition is key to improving its management. We hypothesized that the AST to ALT ratio (AAR) could be a marker of frailty in patients with heart failure. Data from the FRAGILE-HF stud...
