Association Between Cardiometabolic Index and Congestive Heart Failure: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study
Abstract: Background and Objective: Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The Cardiometabolic Index (CMI), derived from waist-to-height ratio and TG/HDL-C ratio, integrates adiposity and dyslipidemia. We evaluated the association between CMI and CHF severity. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study enrolled 132 confirmed CHF patients. CMI = WHtR ? (TG/HDL-C). Correlation and multivariate regression analyses assessed associations with heart failure severity. Results: Mean age 58.6±12.4 years; 62.1% male. CMI was highest in patients with EF <40% (2.74±0.98) vs. EF ≥50% (1.67±0.58; p<0.001). CMI inversely correlated with LVEF (r=-0.42, p<0.001) and positively with NYHA class (r=0.39, p<0.001). CMI independently predicted severe CHF (OR:2.31; 95%CI:1.42?3.76; p=0.001). Conclusion: Elevated CMI is significantly associated with CHF severity and reduced LVEF. It is a simple, cost-effective marker for risk stratification in CHF patients.
