State of the Art in Measuring Frailty in Patients With Heart Failure: from Diagnosis to Advanced Heart Failure
  Purpose of Review: This review aims to present the current state of the art in measuring frailty in patients with heart failure (HF), covering the entire spectrum from diagnosis to advanced stages of the disease. Frailty is a critical factor that significantly impacts outcomes in heart failure, and accurate assessment is essential for guiding treatment and improving prognosis. Recent Findings: Frailty is increasingly recognized as a key determinant of morbidity and mortality in HF patients. Various tools are available for assessing frailty, but there is no consensus on the optimal method. The assessment of frailty needs to be multidimensional, incorporating physical, cognitive, and social domains. Early detection of frailty, coupled with personalized interventions, has the potential to improve patient outcomes. Summary: Integrating routine frailty assessments into the clinical care of heart failure patients is essential for optimizing treatment. Future research should focus on standardizing frailty assessment tools and integrating innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence, to enhance the precision and applicability of these assessments in clinical practice.
