Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is one of the most important global public health problems, as there is an increase in its prevalence and an estimated 23 million of the world's population live with this problem. HF is defined by the presence of structural and functional abnormalities of the cardiac muscle leading to an impairment of ventricular filling and ejection. Multiple comorbidities have been associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Hypertension has been recognized as one of the most important factors, however, obesity, metabolic syndrome, as well as diabetes also play an important role in the onset of the disease. It is common to find in decompensated heart failure hospitalized patients an impaired nutritional status characterized mainly by the presence of nutritional deficiencies and sarcopenia, which can sometimes progress to cachexia. Therefore, an adequate evaluation through the correct use of nutritional risk tools should be the cornerstone to the prevention of risks. Multiple anthropometric and biochemical parameters are available to establish the nutritional status of hospitalized patients, however, alterations in blood volume presented in patients with HF may alter the result of such assessment. The effectiveness of dietary modifications in the prevention and treatment of different cardiovascular diseases enhanced by appropriate adherence to eating patterns such as the DASH and Mediterranean diet have been inversely associated with the incidence of HF.

Parámetros bioquímicos para el diagnóstico de desnutrición
| Albúmina | Vida media de 20 días Niveles bajos en desnutrición. También en infecciones, quemaduras, sobrecarga hídrica, insuficiencia hepática, cáncer y síndrome nefrótico |
| Transferrina | Vida media de 10 días Niveles bajos en desnutrición calórico-proteica, sensible al cambio de hierro sérico |
| Prealbúmina | Vida media de 2-3 días Niveles bajos en desnutrición. También en infecciones e insuficiencia hepática, y existe un aumento en daño renal |
| Proteína C reactiva | Reactante de fase aguda positivo. Ayuda a determinar si las proteínas anteriores se reducen debido a procesos inflamatorios o a un sustrato inadecuado, como en la desnutrición |
