PURPOSE:: To determine the diagnostic performance of weight loss to identify fat mass loss in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) patients. METHODS:: We included consecutive patients enrolled in early outpatient CR who underwent air displacement plethysmography with measurements of height, weight, and waist circumference at initiation and completion of CR. We calculated the accuracy of >1 kg of weight loss to predict a >1 kg loss of… Continue reading
