This was such fun session discussing all things #frailty with Drs. @nursingdean, Gordon Reeves, MD, Vicki Dickson, and Rebecca Gary. Thanks AHAMeetings for the opportunity! #AHA19

Our State-of-the-art review and research wrk frm the REHAB-HF trial on role of frailty in HF pub. today in the JACC-HF issue on HF in older adults. Key findings summarized in the cntrl illustrations below JACC Journals Robert Mentz, MD Muthu Vaduganathan Jainy Savla Christopher O'Connor Mona Fiuzat

Piecing together the pathophysiological puzzle of #frailty and anemia in #HeartFailure. Shared common mechanisms? Anemia potentiating #frailty? Perhaps a target for mitigating/preventing #frailty in #HeartFailure? Lots to learn.

A subset of patients with confirmed HF or cardiac dysfunction have unexpectedly low BNP levels. Obesity is the strongest correlate of unexpectedly low BNP levels. #HF #HFpEF #BNP jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… JACC Journals @JJheart_doc Muthu Vaduganathan Frederik H. Verbrugge Mihai Trofenciuc

Important article. Need to establish consensus around the approach to managment in the pre, peri and post operative period to improve on these outcomes. onlinejcf.com/article/S1071-…

Excited for #ACC21. Looking forward to sharing results of REHAB-HF: innovative physical function intervention designed specifically for older, frail pts hospitalized w acute HF regardless of EF.
