Multidomain Frailty in Heart Failure: Current Status and Future Perspectives

Influencing factors of care dependence in patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention—A cross‐sectional study

“…Frailty has been found to be correlated with a variety of health‐related adverse outcomes (Dibello et al, 2021) and was identified as a risk factor for mortality in patients who have undergone PCI (Tse et al, 2017). Frailty is also considered to be closely related to the prognosis and quality of life of patients with cardiovascular disease (Tanaka et al, 2021) and increases the daily expenditure of patients (Gao et al, 2021). This study also found a negative association between frailty and care dependence.…”

“…Frailty is a key intermediate status of the aging process, which has a multidimensional and multisystem nature and is related to a variety of health‐related adverse outcomes, including disability, falls, hospitalizations, mortality, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease (Dibello et al, 2021). Frailty has been identified as a risk factor for mortality in patients who have undergone PCI (Tse et al, 2017) and is also considered to be closely related to prognosis and quality of life of patients with cardiovascular disease (Tanaka et al, 2021) and increases the daily expenditure of patients (Gao et al, 2021).

The impact of frailty on adverse outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement in older adults: A retrospective cohort study

“…To carefully compare our results with other studies, we performed an additional analysis in which association was determined for frailty and 30‐day complications according to the VARC‐2 criteria. A recent article on frailty in heart failure patients indicates that decline in physical function (decreased walking speed and grip strength) is not the only phenotype of frailty 38 . The concept of frailty is a multidomain problem, featuring problems in physical, psychological, and social domains.…”

“…A recent article on frailty in heart failure patients indicates that decline in physical function (decreased walking speed and grip strength) is not the only phenotype of frailty. 38 The concept of frailty is a multidomain problem, featuring problems in physical, psychological, and social domains. This is also evident in Table 1 of our study, which shows a significant association between frailty and reduced walking speed, reduced grip strength, and increased risk of malnutrition (the physical domain) as well as cognitive impairment and depression (the psychological domain) and living dependent (the social domain).…”
