| Factor | Hand grip strength in kg |
| Description | Male subjects with CHD had −5.62 kg (95% CI: −8.37 to −2.87 kg) HGS compared to healthy male controls (P<0.001), female subjects with CHD had −6.00 kg (95% CI: −8.14 to −3.86 kg) HGS compared to healthy female controls, both controlled for age (P<0.001) |
| Biomarker | NA |
| Classification | A6 (clinical factor - other) |

| Application | diagnosis and prognosis |
| Objective | To assess the degree of muscle dysfunction using Hand grip strength(HGS) as a biomarker in a large group of patients with CHD who often develop muscle dysfunction |
| p Value | <0.001 |
| Conclusion | Grip strength is an easily applicable, repeatedly usable and a cost-effective diagnostic tool to gain a quick, quantiable assessment of the patient’s current muscle function as an expression of cardiac tness. |
