Despite the prognostic role of frailty among elderly patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is known, its assessment still represents a challenge due to the multitude of scales proposed in literature. The aim of this study was to define the prognostic impact of a simple combined frailty model including both functional and metabolic parameters in a large cohort of patients undergoing TAVI with new generation devices.

Abstract
Despite the prognostic role of frailty among elderly patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is known, its assessment still represents a challenge due to the multitude of scales proposed in literature. The aim of this study was to define the prognostic impact of a simple combined frailty model including both functional and metabolic parameters in a large cohort of patients undergoing TAVI with new generation devices.File in questo prodotto:
