The European Journal of Preventive Cardiology recently published research demonstrating that a higher level of quadriceps isometric strength (QIS) was strongly associated with a lower risk of developing heart failure (HF) after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Researchers studied the relationship between QIS and the risk of developing HF in patients with ACS using HF admissions as the endpoint. QIS is a skeletal muscle strength indicator, and study authors classified 1,053 patients with ACS without prior …
