No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Frailty is known as an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality in older cardiac patients, including patients with congestive heart failure. It is an important factor taken into the cardiologists decision making in the clinic, and influences the intensity of follow up treatment, invasive intervention and the need to ensure a stronger social support system for the patient. Frailty assessment is usually made subjectively by the cardiologist, known in the literature as eyeball testing.

In this study the investigators will compare the cardiologists subjective eyeball testing to objective frailty assessment tests based on Fried score and Edmonton frail scale
