Assessment
In patients with heart failure (NYHA Classes I–IV/AHA Stages B and C), what is their measured resting metabolic rate (RMR)?
- Conclusion
  In patients with heart failure (NYHA Classes I–IV/AHA Stages B and C), measured resting metabolic rate (RMR) ranged from 22kcal per kg actual body weight in normally nourished patients to 24kcal per kg actual body weight in malnourished patients. Research is needed regarding measured resting metabolic rate in patients with heart failure.
- Grade: III
  - Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
  - Grade II is Fair;
  - Grade III is Limited/Weak;
  - Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
  - Grade V is Not Assignable.
  - High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
  - Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
  - Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
  - Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
  - Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.

In patients with advanced heart failure (NYHA Class IV/AHA Stage D), what is their measured resting metabolic rate (RMR)?
- Conclusion
  In patients with advanced heart failure (NYHA Class IV/AHA Stage D), there were no studies identified that reported on their measured resting metabolic rate.
