Popis: Abstract Aims A high prevalence of muscle wasting, that is, reduction in muscle mass, in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and heart failure (HF) has been reported. However, whether the association between PAD and muscle wasting is independent of shared risk factors such as diabetes mellitus has not been examined. Methods and results We retrospectively enrolled 440 HF patients (mean age, 74 years; inter‐quartile range, 64–82 years; 52% male). Muscle wasting was defined as an appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) of
