Frailty in older people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
2024
Projet mené par Christophe de Terwangne : 'Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction mainly affects older patients, with significant repercussions on their quality of life. Those patients have very specific clinical risk profiles in which frailty takes a central role. Frailty is a key element that defines the clinical phenotype and impacts outcomes of older patients. This work aims to enhance the physiopathologic understanding of the dynamic interactions between frailty and cardiologic markers of older patients with HFpEF'
